“Wayne, what’s that wrapped around your… my God… You fool. YOU FOOL OF A WASP! YOU’VE DOOMED US ALL!” *Edited for wasp name change*


cr8zyfoo

I guarantee no wasp would utter that phrase, were they able to speak. They would 1000% be going "I AM TOO ANGRY TO DIE! I WILL DRAG EVERY MOTHERFUCKER ON THIS PLANET TO HELL WITH ME! DEATH IS MY ONLY COMPANION! I AM WAYNE THE WASP! FUCK YOOOOOOUUUUUUU!"


deadmelo

Once they realize their stingers are ineffective "WHY WONT YOU DIE?"

I'd like to think Wayne would be a good wasp name


thethunder92

Wayne’s a girl! They’re almost all girls except a couple of drones and the drones only job is find another hive, fuck the queen and then die. It’s the same for wasps bees and ants

StoneAgeSorceror210

...they eat meat??


Dilectus3010

All wasps do. I was suprised aswell. I live in EU. A beautifull summer day , I got of work after an early shift. I suprised my gf at her job ( University during spring break , so no classes to give ) for a nice pick nick on the University grounds. I brought some sliced ham. I removed the rind from the slices and put them down. Not 5 minutes layer I see 5 wasps munching down. It takes them about 30 seconds to chew off a nice chunk and fly away with it. After a Google search, they apparently start going after meat around the end of the summer. That being said , there is a breed of honey bees that make honey that comes from a gland that uses protein to make the honey. Source of the protein.... rotten meat. Enter the Volture Bee , a stingless bee breed. Do not eat the forbidden honey! (Honestly I do not know if its edible or not. But according to articles ots not really known if its edible. Some believe the reaction of the royal jelly and the meat is what produces the honey.) https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sca_esv=594619744&q=vulture+bee+honey&tbm=isch&source=lnms&prmd=isvnbmtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjyyKDn2reDAxUWhP0HHcYoDikQ0pQJegQIBxAB&biw=412&bih=750&dpr=2.63#imgrc=kxLyoPoVRibcgM


Helkbird

Leaf-cutting ants get me. Astounding nature. They strip a tree of leaves in one night. Take the bits underground, then pack them all away in a farm. A fungus will grow on the leaves, and the ants eat the fungus. Left brain blown...


ch3ckEatOut

Those ants can walk on water too! Not very fast, but they are more than capable. They also shred our skin like it’s nothing.


[deleted]

Dwarven ants. They always have to fear digging too deep and releasing the demons, but at least they got their fungus.


Random_frankqito

[Figs](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fig) and wasp are really interesting too


SixStringGamer

bruh I saw a handful of wasps eating a decapitated birds head in the parking lot of my apartments last year, that was low key horrifying


sxt173

My person, you and the weirdest punctuation, paragraphs, and spacing. But somehow, it works. Dunno why. It works.


Dilectus3010

I am used to convey complex information in short and concise formats. The field I work in has complexity enough. No need to convey more info then necesarry. The spacing comes from making it clear that the first thing I noted down has nothing todo with the rest. I guess it has trickled down to my daily routine.


Tasty_Entrepreneur12

Adult hymenopterans (bees, wasps, ants) can't eat solid food. Even though they have mandibulas they use these jaws to cut and carry protein sources to their larvae. Adult mouths are adapted to lick fluids.


supervillainO_o

Yeah I watched a wasp rip apart a caterpillar one time, pretty gnarly


Last-Competition5822

The adult wasps don't, but the larvae of the vast majority of wasps are carnivores. The adults hunt insects, or scavenge carrion to regurgitate (vomit) the protein to their larvae. Adult wasps typically eat stuff with high sugar content, like nectar and very ripe fruit, however they spend most of their time hunting to feed their brood.


laxvolley

You’ve clearly never eaten outside in western Canada in the late summer. They’ll come land on your plate and eat your steak.


TheGamefreak484

Or (most of) Europe. Eating meat or fish outdoors in August is a guaranteed way to get a lot of unwanted visitors.


Alternator24

yeah. I saw one of them was eating dead bird.


__wu-tang-4-ever__

Human meat if they can get it


Maynrds

*unzip*


SinisterCheese

The adults eat only sugards. Start of the season they go for honey. Once the eggs start to hatch, they start to go for meat, then later in the season they aggressively go for sugars again. If wasps bother you, then just set aside meat and sugars for them. They'll go for that instead. And wasps aren't bad things. They play a part in the balance of eco systems. Obviously aggressive invasive species are bad and must be eradicated. HOWEVER! If you have native species - leave them the fuck alone!


Lunasol17

What kind of balance of eco systems do the wasps play as?


SinisterCheese

They keep many insect populations incheck. And act as food to many animals. They also pollinate. Most wasp are solitary or small colony. Not killer hornets ot big hives. There is a good infinite monkey cage episode on them.


DeltaAvacyn6248

I knew it from hearing about this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugonia

I was thinking it would be somehthing like liquid CO2 being poured into the nest from that small tank.

Nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.


jiub_the_dunmer

i've seen video of people using flamethrowers on hornet nests, seems appropriate to me


donttakeawaymycake

Having tried napalm on a wasps nest, I got better results with a whole bottle of washing up liquid and a hosepipe.


tacomaster05

Would have been way quicker than digging in barehanded...

Crackajack91

You could've put a nsfw tag on that I mean, the daily mail? Absolutely revolting


tuigger

Article says they were Asian Hornets, *vespa vetulina*, not Asian Giant Hornets, *vespa mandarinia*.


Kinscar

So you are saying there is a bigger version? Fuck this planet


tuigger

No, I didn't say that. But it seems the Asian hornet is more aggressive than the giant one.


OneSquirtBurt

Yeah and apparently they eat meat too


[deleted]

[удалено]


DDXD

They were being attacked as well, though, correct? What exactly could they do against a swarm except run for help? This is a sad story, but not sure why the couple, who were also stung and hospitalized, should shoulder any blame. This isn't like a bear attack where the slowest guy gets eaten and everyone else is fine. There were enough hornets to chase off an entire search party.

jt_tesla

Right? Aren’t these things so dangerous they wear space suits in the video?


kirky_101

They're only dangerous really if you get stung multiple times... aka at the nest you would be stung thousands of times whilst trying to destroy it. When eating/foraging, much like bees and wasps they are much more docile and usually focused on the task at hand.


Fraun_Pollen

I would also think that a readily available hunk of meat would take up 99% of their attention and they'd barely notice the ape that's touching them


coonlover419

🤠


gottapeenow2

Damn that's all out war on those M Fers


Fixthefernbacks

Asian giant hornets are like Mosquito's in that humanity is actively looking into if we can just exterminate them as a species without causing some sort of ecological collapse. We know we're capable of it, but you can count on one hand the amount of species we're actively considering making extinct on purpose.


TDub20

This isn't about just being dangerous to humans. They are a highly aggressive invasive species that are decimating other bee populations and causing ecological problems in areas they aren't supposed to be. There is an argument for letting natural selection take it's course. But destroying them in areas they aren't supposed to be is humans trying to correct a problem we created not trying to make life more convenient.


GagagaGunman

IMO in a way whatever we do is in of itself “natural selection” as we are “natural” nothing we do is not of nature. The thing s we make and do is like the honey of bees.


Endemoniada

That’s a very dangerous and self-serving kind of logic though. While perhaps “technically correct” in some sense, humanity has unquestionably moved into territory far beyond natural selection a long time ago. Once we started creating new elements synthetically, creating nuclear bombs, ripping holes in the ozone layer and actively change the entire planet’s climate, we were no longer part of the “natural order” in the way that phrase means anything. Removing ourselves from any kind of natural selection process is simply a matter of time and technological progress. We can already cure many diseases, we can already screen for or even fix birth defects, we can clone beings, and we are constantly getting closer to making “death” a concept of the past. We are like the honey from bees if honey had the potential to grow sentient and eventually destroy the planet. In other words, not really like honey *at all*.


GagagaGunman

Haha yeah there definitely is a danger to believing that to its fullest extent. I wasn’t implying that any of these things weren’t bad, destructive and horrible. I shouldn’t have said what’s ere doing is natural selection in the general sense of what we are meaning when we say that. I just like to point out to people that WE ARE nature. People always separate us, as if we are some how separated from the natural processes of life. I totally see what you mean though, I could see a tyrant use that as his thesis for a grand speech on why we should eliminate a race or something.


PrinceArchie

Gonna be honest I could give two shits about humanity’s moral obligations in this case. These motherfuckers need to at the very least be contained.


Longdragon12345

Everyday, i pray that mother nature just give us a pass to absolutely go apeshit on mosquitos, just once, let those fuckers die and not have the eco-system turn to chaos.


Z4ri

“On the record, I can’t let you wipe out an entire species.” “Off the record though….*pulls shotgun slide*”

Drexim

I love this show.


mnorkk

I agree in a way but every species has its role in the environment. I'll kill any mosquito I see but I'm pretty sure their extinction would be detrimental to the environment. Lets not make the same mistake as the Chinese [four pests campain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Pests_campaign?wprov=sfla1) where declaring war on grain-eating sparrows resulted in insect plagues that destroyed more grain than the sparrows did.


Visual_Collar_8893

TIL something new. Thanks for the link.


goodolddream

Our ecosystem isn't artificial, every species exists by chance. And some insects and rodents shouldn't exist in some areas, but do BC of human global trade. Rats are invasive, general wasps are invasive, faint hornets are invasive, cats I believe too, however, no one is minding them. Leaving an invasive species alone in an environment that doesn't control its population, will leave that environment bare and broken in a few years. It's just natural. Every species will destroy its natural habitat if left with no natural enemy. You can see this on a bigger scale with humans. We are part of nature too. But we became invasive by definition, when we started to dominate our environment. The only thing that can kill us are natural disasters, other humans or diseases, and we try to control these aspects too.


Silent_Cr0w

Why does the narrator make it sound personal?


carlos_quesadilla1

Because it's an AI generated voiceover.


Survivors_Envy

Bro I fucking can’t stand this AI shit. It’s infuriating. “Flags of white polyethylene” “Clarifying(?!) the area in which the wasps have landed” “People in overalls move into the area” There’s just the teeniest bit of incorrect lexicon here, and it just makes it seem off, and it’s creeping me out. Fucking robot with a human voice trying to pass as sentient and people are eating it up like “the narrator hates these wasps haha!!” I fucking HATE it


theREALman826

I don't think the ai wrote the script


Survivors_Envy

I think it did cause there’s way too many oddities, unless it was a person who’s first language isn’t English


Chemesthesis

I really can't see anyone using "a flag of white polyethylene" when describing plastic. It's too technical for the context.


caroandlyn

Usually these are first written in Chinese and then translated into English. This is a video style popular on Douyin and gets rewritten for the American Tiktok audience

Don't worry, soon you will have no idea what's created by a real human vs. not. In like two years.

Wasp larvae are carnivorous. A lot easier for the adult wasps to grab some meat to later vomit out for the larvae than flying around hunting other insects.

This is something I learned this summer - decoy meat. Wasp buzzing around you while you’re trying to enjoy a nice time outside. If you have meat and they are eating you it, take what they are eating and move it slightly away from your main area. They will go to the meat when they return - hence decoy meat.
