Yep, surprisingly some of the biggest like the “Cicada Killer” and Bald Faced Hornets (as long as you’re not messing with their nest) are very chill around humans as long as you don’t mess with them. Yellowjackets OTOH can get fucked. Fearless and they’ll chase you in numbers if you even just step by the nest or go by it with a mower.

I agree! The mud daubers and digger wasps can look quite scary with their nipped waists, but they are quite docile. I have a bird bath, and when it’s empty they sit on the edge patiently while I fill it, then gently crawl into the periphery. They have never bothered me in the slightest

There’s a few that hang around my yard. They gobble up annoying pests and there’s one that seems to visit me deliberately. We hang out for a bit and then she goes off to her duties.

I think wasp get angry in autumn due to low sugar in diet which I think we can all relate.

Those red ones can eat my wasp spray
