    We get lots of blue mud daubers where I live and I’ve seen people freak the fuck out over them.

    Like guys, they will straight up never have business with you and their main prey is literally spiders if you have an irrational fear of them too

    They’re the bros of the wasp world. The dudes can’t even sting, only the women, and they can take care of the young which is crazy rare. Yoi’d have to go out of your way to get bitten or stung.

    Hell, many solitary vespids will fuck up other non-solitary wasps.
