Wasps are my big worry every summer. They interfere in almost all of my out door activities. They always come when I am varnishing and on one occasion they made me drop a freshly varnished violin and wood shavings got stuck to it.
I almost fell out with a scientist friend over the importance of wasps in our Eco system. His view was that everything is important. I maintain that quite a number of living things become extinct over time and we don't really see any gaping holes in our enviornment subsequently. My research has shown me that wasps cannot do anything that spiders cant do. I will explain this in a moment but first let me say that wasps are like some races of people who will never integrate with other different races. They are unfriendly and live only for themselves. They make a very interesting nest from an engineering perspective but that is all. They don't make honey. They do not believe in sharing. People say that if you keep your mouth shut wasps will not pester you.
Catching up on my earlier point, wasps for what they do in the way of eating, spiders will do exactly that and with style. No stinging, no agression,
masters of peace and champions of engineering.
I see no reason not to hasten the extinction of wasps.
They will not allow you to drink coke on a beach without getting in your mouth and stinging you.
They invade every picnic and bbq.
They sting children.
They torment my daughter when she comes over for a meal in the garden.
Every one is on high alert, can't relax.
The smaller ones which we see this year pack a deadly sting.
We need to create a creature that will eat every wasp on the planet.
We all try to stay clear of them but our efforts are futile.
I got stung between my fingers as I was playing the violin, can wasps hear?
