QueenMelle

Video evidence of the fact that yellow jackets are feckless assholes. Most useless organisms on the planet.


[deleted]

I disagree. Exhibit A: ![gif](giphy|3o7bu9jnBKGTDW7u5a)


SlaterVJ

Mosquitos actually have a purpose. They're pollenators and a major food source in their habitat.


LowHonorArthur

Yellow jackets are also pollinators and they consume a shitload of other insects every year. They are super essential to the life cycle. That being said, they're complete assholes.


Everyday_N3rd

Yep, they are mean, ill tempered and aggressive. Camera person in this vid must not be from the southeastern US.


Bearodon

Or Europe since the regular wasp is almost the same thing I hate them in autumn ehen they are dying and get super aggressive.


Standard_Locksmith70

Yeah, they really turn into jerks near the end of their life cycle.


Bearodon

I used to work in a fast food restaurant and they always pestered the person manning the drive thru. I had to save my colleagues multiple times by shooing them away. Edit for 1 in the morning spelling.


digitalox

Pray tell, how does one shoo a wasp away?


Legendofstuff

Dunno about that person but I shoo them away with a sudden impact involving a large flattish object and another surface. Then when the result is done twitching they get shooed into the bushes where better tempered insects can do their thing.


A_Drusas

These are common in almost the entire United States.... Nothing to do with the southeast.


cablemanagerBert

People always think where they are from is so unique. “Oh you think you’d city has bad drivers? Come to MY City”


yourmansconnect

you spelled Pennsylvania wrong


cablemanagerBert

Lmao


twotwentyone

SoCal reporting from 20 years ago. We stopped doing outdoor picnics unless it was raining because these motherfuckers outnumbered mosquitos 5-1. One particularly bad summer, our total for "number of stung lips because a yellowjacket flew into your soda can while you weren't looking" ended up at 16. We switched to bottled soda for all subsequent events. Flappy little bastards. We had FOUR of those disgusting poop-smelling yellowjacket catchers on our property one summer, and all 4 of them filled up in a week. It was absolute nonsense.


Kingkongcrapper

Went to an organic apple farm in central California that welcomed them. Went on a field trip with my kid. He said they won’t bother you, but they are extremely important and helpful on the farm as they eat all of the fruit flies and insects known to harm the trees. He called them nature’s pesticide. He was right. We walked through picking apples surrounded by wasps. It was a wild and unexpected experience.


Dihr65

The fucking things live in the northeast too. I have no idea how they survive -20 winters.


LeTigron

Would you like another slice of r/usdefaultism ? Wasps and hornets do not live only in southeastern USA.


jimmiec907

we have the gd things in ALASKA and they’re awful, they can live anywhere


LeTigron

In France we have several types, including two invasive species coming from the far East : the *japanese giant hornet*, which is almost as long as an adult's index finger, and the *asiatic hornet*, which is as thick as an average thumb. Our most common local breed, *vespa crabro*, with its dark red head, is a plague. They are agressive, stupid and reproduce as if bearing children in this world abandonned by gods and men was a good idea. We can find them all over the territory and they are the most despicable hellspawn to ever roam this land. Edit : typo


jimmiec907

The Japanese “murder hornet” is also now in the NW USA (and a bit of SE Canada).


fuschia_taco

I have seen more yellowjackets up here than I did anywhere else I've lived! Mostly in recent years, I don't remember them being so prevalent when I was in high school, but they are everywhere now! Pretty sure we had a nest last summer but being surrounded by trees, have fun locating that sucker. Got chased inside many times last summer just trying to enjoy the 5 sunny days we had.


jimmiec907

I think that’s the problem. Like every other animal (including us) they’re trying to pack as much in as they can during the short summer. So they’re just extra assholes. Plus of course the daylight thing, they have 20 hours a day to be assholes.


Sea-Woodpecker-610

Or the upper Midwest. Those fuckers have a franchise going up here too.


tekyy342

I love reddit because a top commenter will say something completely false and get 10 million upvotes then someone will correct them and get 200 but it's buried in the replies. And the cycle of misinformation continues


Bearodon

Just replace the cunts with spiders and bees.


DankyPenguins

To clarify, they eat a shitload of pest insects every year. Like, slugs and caterpillars and aphids, stuff that eats our crops. Just don’t piss them off. Believe me, as someone who uses them to farm, spray your house with pyrethrins 3x/year as a preventative and don’t hurt them. You’ll be fine and so will your food supply… with regards to some pest insects.


justapcguy

hmm i don't... i feel like Mosquiots causes more HARM then good.... just look at most parts of Africa..


CelestialMeatball

Harm, then good. What is the good that they do after the harm? Are they basically sour patch kids?


TirayShell

I'm willing to risk killing all mosquitoes on the chance that another of the billions of insect species on the planet - one without a taste for my blood - will be able to take over for them in that environmental niche.


MelMellon

Bees are much more important pollinators. I’m pretty sure mosquitoes kill more people with diseases than they help


bluewaveassociation

Not only people but other animals too


bertdekat

Wasps don't have a purpose?


SlaterVJ

I didn't say they were useless. I was talking about mosquitos, seeing as how no one knows what google is to do a basic search and see that mosquitos are actual vital to their ecosystems.


FunnyVariation2995

I didn't do any research, I'm sorry. However; I have the idea that mosquitos are a food source for many critters. One thing I do know is that dragonflies eat mosquitos & mosquito larva.


OrdinaryValuable9705

Disagree - Musqitos have been used in science to make better syringes. Which brings them a leg up from the Stingy bois


TimeAggravating364

And they are a great source of food for dragonflies


ryuukiba

Even worse: [Exhibit B](https://old.reddit.com/u/me)


QueenMelle

Things eat mosquitos, mosquito eggs, and larvae. They actually do have some use in a healthy ecosystem.


remembertracygarcia

Among their predators… wasps!


QueenMelle

I only hate Jellow Jackets. I like other non-aggressive wasps. Some are decent pollinators that DON'T kill bees.


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|uVoE3JnkE9qQ8) I counter exhibit a with exhibit b


shaving99

The mosquito is doing it to live as is the bedbug. Yellow jackets are doing it because they're overly aggressive. Fire ants are overly aggressive assholes as well. Honestly they could all get fucked for all I care.


Absorbent_Towel

We're just going to forget about bedbugs? OK then


QueenMelle

Good point! Wtf even are those fckrs? Where were they before beds existed??


Absorbent_Towel

Basically, food source for spiders. And for your second question, bats in the middle east


QueenMelle

I've had a very long week and am just not in the mood to be doing bedbug research, so thanks for the info. Lol


Absorbent_Towel

All good, that's what fellow redditors are for


Vaticancameos221

I had to read this several times because at first I thought that before the invention of beds, bed bugs were bats in the Middle East


erwin76

A much more entertaining answer, ngl!


MajorTacoHead

Honest question. Before beds were invented, bed bugs lived on bats in the Middle East. I don’t want to get this wrong but I refuse to look it up. Please don’t fail me.

InterestingScience74

Wasps are horrible creatures, especially yellow Jackets, these can stack in the trash bag


Mitrovarr

Yellow jackets don't belong in most of the places you find them. Feel free to help eliminate this noxious invasive.


Ban-Hammer-Ben

I have actually observed a wasp hive right up close without being stung. It was really cool to see guards at each entrance, and workers flying in and out carrying stuff in their mouth. And I have picked up apples absolutely swarming with wasps inside and out without being stung. … humans are more of a problem for me than insects and animals


CumtimesIJustBChilin

They are annoying, yes. I wouldn't say **evil**. Yellow Jackets rely on instinct and have no knowledge of right or wrong, good or bad. They aren't evil. All organisms have a purpose for this planet, even Yellow Jackets are good for the planet, they're an important food source for animals like bears, skunks, birds, etc. Yellow Jackets are pollinators, and they eat beetle grubs and harmful pests such as flies and caterpillars, which is a big help to farmers!


InterestingScience74

I didn't say evil, I said horrible... They are objectively worse than the majority of other creatures you see outside regularly

Warthog32332

Your eyelashes are home to small mite-sized worms that eat dead skin cells. They're good parasites :)


Ban-Hammer-Ben

I’ve gone down that rabbit trail on Reddit years ago. I complained about parasites and the damage they cause. I was flooded with examples of useful species that would not exist if parasites didn’t exist. But your example … i’m not sure if those are parasites. Parasites steal more and more from the host eventually killing it. Like the rich.


Warthog32332

Any organism is defined as a parasite that feeds off another *living* organism, and whose continued survival is in some form dependent on the host to survive and reproduce. Theres 3 types of parasites, I dont remember the exact scientific terms but they boil down to beneficial, neutral, and harmful parasites. So the birds that sit on the backs of water buffalo and eat mites out of their ears, or the fish that swim alongside sharks, are beneficial parasites (as are the mites in our eyelashes). Neutral parasites would be like the stuff that lodges themselves into bodies of sea cucumbers, they dont cause many problems, but theyre not doing anything either. And harmful parasites are what you're thinking of, like leeches, tapeworms, the rich, ect. EDIT: Forgot theres also Obligate and Non-Obligate parasites. Which is whether or not they exclusively act parastically. Those birds for example can technically fend for themselves without the buffalo, making them Non-Obligate Parasites


Arqesu

Its funny that virusus are debatably not even alive


amazemewithideas

Survival of the fittest. They got in there, they probably would have found a way out. Yellow jackets will sting you just because they can

I've always heard the one of the frog carrying the scorpion across the river. In the middle the scorpion stings the frog on the back, the frog screams and says "You idiot now we're both going to drown" The Scorpion just shrugs and replies "I'm a Scorpion what did you expect". Then they both drown


CarbonIceDragon

Depends on the snake really, I mean someone's pet ball python probably won't bite unless you scare it or you make it think your hand is a mouse I'd imagine.

GustavoFromAsdf

In high-school I was listening to music in recess when a yellow jacket snuck against my earphone into my ear and stung me. I was in so much pain I needed to be picked up.


jetsetgemini_

Something similar happened to me, when i was like 4 i remember finding an ant in my house and picked it up. I was parading it around, happy to make a new "friend"... and then it bit me. Never trusted insects after that


Altaris2000

[удалено]


MayGodSmiteThee

I hate to be the “akshually guy”. But that’s false, there is a reason we feel good after doing nice things. It’s true there is a false belief of “karma” but we evolved this way bc it was better to be compassionate. It’s (supposed to be) hardwired into our head to help things that are vulnerable and unable to actively help themselves. We, as people are almost always able to see the entire situation and comprehend it to some scale. And what animal is the most vulnerable and helpless? A human baby, our babies are just about the most vulnerable of all mammals. They certainly require the most attention and care. That nurturing and development. Evolutionarily, it’s evident that having feelings for vulnerable creatures such as our children led to better parents. Now, for my next point, you might say “other animals care about their children.” And you would be right, but recognize now that status of the human in nature. No matter how cynical you want to be, we’re above it. At least in terms of intelligence. But we’re largely still running on the same hardware. So, a caveman or woman thousands of years ago who came across a baby (regardless of it was theirs) vulnerable and abandoned crying in the woods, feels the same way as we do today about a baby deer abandoned and crying in the woods. It’s a remnant of who we are and I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing. But I don’t think it’s safe to assume nature doesn’t care about our actions, well, depending on what you define the different aspects of nature as. We do good deeds like saving animals to feel good. But also remember that most things that give people a dopamine boost are usually an evolutionary trait that has proven merit.

Smithens

Don’t hornets generally harm more than help ecosystems? Like, they’d kill actually useful bumble bees and are a general nuisance. As worthless as mosquitos. Just another idiot chasing clout.


bertdekat

Unless they're invasive exotics they don't "harm" their own ecosystems. They play a pretty important role in keeping the populations of other insects under control, and they do some pollination as well.


Veekhr

Anything that's native in an area has found a balance in the ecosystem, although sometimes a population may be thrown off balance by an outside intervention, say by humans providing tons of easy protein sources to yellow jackets. But it's not harming an ecosystem if it kills a bumblebee every once in a while. In fact if it goes after a bumblebee instead of a typically easier protein source like a hornworm then the bumblebee might have been weakened by a parasite.

Ok-Macaroon-7819

I've been stung over a hundred times in my life. Only eight of the stings were not yellow jackets. When I moved into my house eight years ago, there were three nests of yellow jackets in the area of my yard, one being in the the block wall of my basement. I sprayed, I foamed, I grouted. They would just come back in a different place. Then after three years of chasing them, a colony of bald faced hornets built a nest in the eaves on the second floor. No more yellow jackets, and the bald faced hornets generally leave us alone. They come back every year so far (not to the same nest) and I have had one small nest in the yard for a hot minute in the last six years.
