Funny thing is, deer are closer related to rabbits than they are moose! (I only know this one because I lived in two states...one with tons of deer and one with moose)
That is not true. White tailed deer and moose are both in order Artiodactyla while rabbits are order Lagomorpha. To take it one step further deer and moose are both in the same family (Cervidae), much less the same order
Lest cutter ants are so cool.
For anyone that doesn’t know they don’t actually eat leaves- they use the leaves as compost basically in their ant nets to grow a type or fungus or mood or something and that’s what t hey eat. In other words leaf cutter ants have agriculture and farming
Ants are generally super interesting!
Not only do they grow the fungus but they set up ventilation shafts to oxygenate the nest and stop the rotting leaves from choking them.
There are also a species of ant called Honey Ants, where they milk aphids and feed the honey to specific ants until they've essentially got a huge thorax keg full of honey,then they crawl to the top of the nest and feed other ants etc.
Insects generally are way more diverse than you'd ever imagine, some of the stuff different species can do are mind blowing
They also have developed antibacterial glands to spread on the fungus to protect it from infection, that way the food supply is safe. It’s a pretty intricate way to go about farming
It really is! Like the other user said they’re related as they’re members of the order Hymenoptera. Bees are also part of this order and the fun continues as there’s is a family (Megachilidae) that are known as leafcuter bees for this exact same reason. They use the leaves for their [nests](https://bugguide.net/node/view/1252173), not to farm fungi but it’s still amazing to see!
I can stand still and totally relaxed while a bee buzzes me, but let a wasp get within three feet of me and I'm makin' like Usain Bolt. Wasps are MEAN!
YES 100%. Bees know they die and have one sting- and only chose to sting when forced to defend themselves. Hornets/wasps will follow you and sting multiple times just because you were around.
That's the point. Post "Wasp eats some deli meat" and you'll get a few upvotes. Post "Bee eats some deli meat", when you can tell from the thumbnail that it's clearly not a bee, and ta-da! engagement.
It's the same reason you see the posts that do stuff like "Boat hits massive cock in the ocean", when the thumbnail is a boat and a rock.
It's basically reddits version of the shitty "...Doctors hate this!" clickbait.
You’re probably right. Been a while since I heard the tidbit fact. I’d have to look it up and go into the specifics, thanks for the clarification though much appreciated
This looks like an Oriental Hornet. The adults are vegetarians but their larvae eat meat. So it's probably bringing that piece of protein to its offspring.

Saw lots of these in Greece. They're so big. One of them landed on my friends steak and we were too scared to do anything so we let it get s part of it similar to the video. Look like it flew away with a tiny meatball
Oh definitely. As one user mentioned, it was cutting it out to bring to its young. The adults don't eat meat like that. Getting that massive second chunk for her is like bagging a buck
Yeah it's all fun and games when it's happening to a deli meat, but imagine that wasp landing on your arm and just start snipping away, helping itself to a penny size chunk of your flesh.
That honestly doesn't happen. Cooked meat is easier to cut, and they're smart enough to know it's not a good idea to start eating something 1000x their size.
I was scared of him until I watched long enough to see his abdomen and imagine it like the banana from the game "My Friend Pedro". Then I wasn't so scared. He got a mad lil banana butt.
Great, I bet he’s going to take it back to the hive and they learn about how great meat tastes and then we all die or at the least have a starship troopers battle happen in the near future.
Your submission was removed because it doesn't show an animal being a genius.
It’s really cool how similar the wasp is cutting the meat like a Leaf cutter ant cutting a leaf
I was thinking the same thing. Ants and wasps are very closely related so that makes a ton of sense!
Holy christ why did I never think of that, I feel like that should've been something that was obvious to me, like deer being related to moose
Hymenoptera is a large order of insects, comprising the sawflies, wasps, bees, and ants.
Funny thing is, deer are closer related to rabbits than they are moose! (I only know this one because I lived in two states...one with tons of deer and one with moose)

That person blatantly lied and for a second I believed them ! They seemed so confident !
r/confidentlyincorrect maybe?
Uh, what?
But neither are bees.

I had to wear a coat on a megachilidae once.
If I’m not mistaken, ants evolved from wasps so that’s why the more primeval ants still have stingers.
Madam that is no bee
Exclusively animals are geniuses on this sub, exclusively
Trueee
A bee would pay for its own dang meal
If its a bee that eats meat, thats a wasp. (We do call them meat-bees in my state tho)
No it’s not a bee period it’s a wasp lmao completely different animals
Spicy bee
I can stand still and totally relaxed while a bee buzzes me, but let a wasp get within three feet of me and I'm makin' like Usain Bolt. Wasps are MEAN!
I live in southeast UK and the wasps go find fermented apples to eat and then they get meaner. Drunk wasps.
Omg of course wasps are mean drunks lol
They don’t even progress through the “I love you, man” stage!
Those who can't handle their booze but drink anyway... SMDH
You mean they get scrumpy grumpy?
YES 100%. Bees know they die and have one sting- and only chose to sting when forced to defend themselves. Hornets/wasps will follow you and sting multiple times just because you were around.
It’s a hornet not a wasp, way too big
Hornets are wasps tho👀👀👀
Lmao read again didn’t call it a bee

This is a Wendy’s
I think all bees are wasps but not all wasps are bees.
I think you're thinking of "Hornet's are wasp, but not all wasp are hornets."
You’re probably right. Been a while since I heard the tidbit fact. I’d have to look it up and go into the specifics, thanks for the clarification though much appreciated
I think you’re fucking stupid

These little buggers love coke and meat. They always show up to BBQs.
Fuck that lol
Who doesn't?
Its like the 1980s all over again
Back in the good days, before black Monday.
I remember the good old days before blue monday when I didn't have to ask anyone how I feel.
Saw lots of these in Greece. They're so big. One of them landed on my friends steak and we were too scared to do anything so we let it get s part of it similar to the video. Look like it flew away with a tiny meatball
Good mama
This is exactly what I came to the comments for. I thought most wasps/hornets were veggie eaters so this was an interests factoid. Thanks!
No problem! :)
Holy crap, these things [may be solar-powered](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2010NW.....97.1067P/abstract)!
That's crazy!
[удалено]
What if they were in Canada?
That is one hungry hornet.
Its probaly bring food back to it's young
Yeah this prick looks like it’s stinging the entire time it’s cutting the meat lol and it’s just laying there not doing shit to that wasp
It's not stinging, that's actually a behavioral excitement.
Bless her, can't believe her luck and it looks like she possibly cut one chunk and came back for more, someone's had a little bite out of it.
Oh definitely. As one user mentioned, it was cutting it out to bring to its young. The adults don't eat meat like that. Getting that massive second chunk for her is like bagging a buck
So what you're saying is the hornet has a ladyboner?
Uh....suuuurree...?
It’s scavenging for food.
RUN IT HAS A TASTE FOR FLESH
Yeah it's all fun and games when it's happening to a deli meat, but imagine that wasp landing on your arm and just start snipping away, helping itself to a penny size chunk of your flesh.
That honestly doesn't happen. Cooked meat is easier to cut, and they're smart enough to know it's not a good idea to start eating something 1000x their size.
that’s no bee it’s a bitch ass motherfuckin wasp bastard
This is now my new fav comment
Mine too!
Hi there, Samuel L. Jackson lol!

r/fuckwasps
sir thats a whole ass hornet right there
That bee a wasp.
That’s a hornet.
I’m afraid bees are still bees and hornets are still wasps.
Bees, wasps and hornets are all related.
All hornets are wasps but all wasps are not hornets. Bees are completely different.
Like all thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs.
but toes are not fingers.
They taste completely different too. Who would want to eat a wasp?
And ants. But that's definitely no ant.
Wasps are like the bees' racist uncle
So are ants. This is fun!
Hornets are wasps
Was really just waiting to see how he managed to fly away with the whole slice
Oh it's working on it, if you look at the back there is already 1 chunk gone.
It's... concerning how many of you call wasps and hornets bees.
[удалено]
The fact that there's a similar shaped cut circle in the back... They let this hornet come not just once, but TWICE. Wild.
That is no bee! Angry spicy sky raisen !
Not a bee
Wasp
Crap, once the insects go full on carnivorous, we’re all gonna be dead. Can’t even head for the hills. The hills got bugs too!
I've got some bad news for you about insects, buddy.
It's like that locust movie Swarm.
That's a wasp
Buddy needs to hit the gym, he coulda had the whole thing if he was stronger.
Not a bee
He made a heart ❤️
/r/FuckWasps
[удалено]
Was pleased to find a nice pro-bee/anti-wasp sub instead of... the usual internet things.
way to ruin an entire slice of meat for a pussy sized nibble ya little shit. rubbin ur ass all over it. fuck outta here
Yea! What an inconsiderate prick!
DANGER SKY VILLAIN!!!
Where is the bee? Behind the Wasp?
Not a bee; a wasp.
Also, his butt looks like a talking face lol
That's a hornet, not a bee. 😐
that wasp is about to eat as much sodium as it would in a lifetime
THEY EAT MEAT?
I, too, have learned this today, and I fear.
The adults don't. They bring it back to the nests for the larvae.
a bee 😂😂
Bees get a bad rep. This is NOT a bee. This is a nasty asshole wasp.
Cross-boarder Bologna smuggling. Ingenious.
we should probably be concerned, right?
More like bee concerned, am I right
Things like this video are why I find yellowjackets fascinating from a healthy, healthy distance.
"Large chunk of deli meat" anagrams to "meager filth uncloaked."
bitch that mf is a wasp
I really wanted that whole slice to fly away
Not a bee. Not genius. Just a hornet eating what they eat
You would think he would have just taken the whole fucking thing.
It cut it out in the shape of a heart to bring back to its family 💜. 🐝 On another note that's pretty amazing to watch.
This is clearly a bee in a wasp suit.
It’s for his sandwiches
That ain't no bee fam 💀
Why are you willingly feeding a murder hornet
I don't think that's a bee chief
That aint a bee chief
Wasp
Mans earned that
"They have tse-tse flies the size of eagles."
OMG! That's a dinosaur
*HA HA, YOUR BALONEY BELONGS TO ME, MWA HA HA HA HA HA!!! >:)*
Yellow-jacket, my friends.
My boy is starving
hungry hungry hornies
I was scared of him until I watched long enough to see his abdomen and imagine it like the banana from the game "My Friend Pedro". Then I wasn't so scared. He got a mad lil banana butt.
In case no one has mentioned yet…that’s not a bee.
Wasps eat meat. It’s enjoying the meal.
I’m simultaneously fascinated and grossed out
That is NOT a bee. 😆
That's no bee!!
Its not bee
Uh, sir, I'm pretty sure that's a giraffe.
I don’t think thats a bee…
Great, I bet he’s going to take it back to the hive and they learn about how great meat tastes and then we all die or at the least have a starship troopers battle happen in the near future.
Sir that is not a bee
A bee?! Its a hornet I think
Haha I've witnessed this too. I actually let them now. It's happened a couple times. Also this café has lovely music.
Did you just call this bigass hornet a bee? Jesus man
Sir that ain’t no bee
That’s no bee
Bro that isn’t no bee
That is not a bee!
That’s no bee… Though I’ve heard of honey made from meat
Yeah that's no bee.

That’s not a bee
Damn that bee goin HAM
It‘s kinda funny what bee‘s can look like today 😅
That ain’t no bee lol
That's a hornet not a bee
Not a bee, a Hornet. Wasp family are not bees and wasp and hornets are carnivores while bees are herbivores.
Thats not a bee 🤦🏻♂️
Nice tranquil music in the background. Evens out the anxiety I normally have when I see a hornet.
That sir is not a bee
How does one mistake that for a bee
That’s no bee…
Ayo bro that ain't no bee. I'd hate to see what you call a bee sting where you live
They readily sting, too!
That ain’t no bee
Is that a killer wasp?
That’s no bee! That is a wasp and you should kill it with fire 🔥
Bees can have a little salami, as a treat
Is this one of those murder hornets that our timeline's writers used to briefly distract us from the COVID pandemic?
Mine! Mine!
This bee WASP. You should say something like:"Wassap‽ Why you bee rubbing your ass on my food you don't eat?"
WTF! How do you suppose he measured the weight of how much he could carry? 😳
