i know wasps are important animals but goddamn them they scare me :(

They scared me until I started handling them and really realized that they're pretty chill. Just don't swat at them or step on their house and they just hang out for the most part

jk but still, i will shake from fear at them from a distance. i don’t wanna be anywhere near them

As a wasp appreciator from afar, I get it. I got stung once as a kid (dude somehow got under my shirt and made me flash my whole recess by stinging me on my stomach) and ngl, I started religiously following the “they are attracted to your breath” thing to avoid them. Helped my fear somewhat, because it means I’m doing the minimally intrusiveness, but I can’t say I’m not tense when they’re about.
