@very-rusty saidI’d wonder why I was so stupid as to walk on their nest and applaud their fighting spirit.
Let a few sting you and see how you think about it then! 馃檪 Better yet walk on a nest and let me know what you think about wasps. 馃槢

@trev33 saidWell I would to considering you're grown man, keep in mind I was 5 or 6 years old at the time. I didn't even know I had done it until they were all over me. You may be cursing, not applauding their fighting spirit! 馃檪

@very-rusty saidAre you sure it wasn't bees? You might have killed them all who bite you 馃槩

Something stung me when i was about 7 but that was the last, wasn't a fan of wasps for a long time but they're actually a lot more useful that people think and they don't sting just for the hell of it?

@trev33 saidI'll stay my hand unless they get uppity.
Don't kill the wasps.
Some paper wasps are building a little nest near my front door, on the other side of the column I lean my bicycle against while getting ready for a ride or taking groceries into the house after a ride.
I bought a can of foaming nest killer yesterday, but since they haven't come after me yet, I might leave them alone, too. But I do also have to consider delivery drivers who might get stung when they leave a package.
I also did a quick web search to see how wasps are useful after reading another post in this thread.

@trev33 saidWasps are weird. Some sting cicadas to paralyze, lay eggs, then bury the still alive victim, so when the eggs hatch, the larve feed and develop. Some wasps feed exclusively on spiders. Some get trapped en masse in fig buds, then are dissolved once the fig matures.
Mr wasp flying around me, what do you want?
@trev33 saidI am fluent in Apocrita and understand enough Hymenoptera to travel comfortably in Arthropoda and Insecta ~ although I do admit I find the hornet dialect difficult. I inserted myself into the Enlightenment Of Trev33 process after I sensed you struggling with the crude "buzz buzz" representations.
Why is the wasp responding in English now? It evolved quickly from buzz buzz.

@fmf saidI am fluent in Klingon. Unfortunately they don't have wasps there.

@fmf saidI fail to see how being fluent in Klingon would have helped a 7 year old running all ankles-out-sideways down down the high street while sobbing “life’s not fair even at my age”.

Having said that a few miles away in Penzance you will find a species of pavement life which do in fact appear to be a sub-kind of cyclopsed Klingons, probably decedents of the corrupted phenotype Homoklingiens Sagittarii.
A normal non-threatening vocal gesture might be:
”Do始 Duj - Daq~ghoqwI始.. Sam-^la始”
@divegeester saidWhen you did your Vulcan mind meld I could have conversed with said wasp in Klingon if it spake Klingon which is probably unlikely.
