going to bring this thread back from the dead to say that wasps are fucking dope and don't deserve the kind of hate they get just because yellowjackets are pissy little fags. most wasps are solitary species who only sting if you go out of your way to harass them and are really important for pollination and pest control.

I agree with you to an extent, except one wasp stung my left hand while I was gardening. The shit just hovered over my hand and flew away.
I don't hate wasps in general and respect people that love them. Bees are nice too; strangely I'm close to people that are allergic to bees/fear them.

you might've been too close to a nest and didn't realize it, or disturbed the wasp while she was sitting on something you touched. or maybe she was just in a bad mood that day. who knows. either way it's good you're still willing to respect them regardless, and i really appreciate that you didn't reply with some retard-tier "but they meannnnnnnn" response, since a lot of people are wont to do that as a knee jerk response even though it doesn't add anything to the convo.

The magpies here in the States generally aren't assholes like they are down under. I lived in a place with a lot of them and it was neat watching their behaviors.

Makes sense. Maybe the down under magpies are aggressive little pricks so they can defend themselves against the same dangerous animals that enjoy killing humans for fun here.

Magpies aren't bad: Pigeons are and a close second are Mockingbirds as they will attack you for your fast food.
Pigeons just walk up to you begging for your ice cream cone pieces lol and tend to peck at any bird seed on the ground.

Termites are very cool. Lots of people marvel at the complexity of the societies built by ants or bees, but termites have nothing to envy. They only get a bad rep because a handful of species (out of thousands) are pests

that's usually how it goes with bugs as a whole: a couple species are capable of hurting humans or disrupting their lives and suddenly every land-dwelling arthropod is a fucking menace to society.

unless you have a great pr team like honeybees and butterflies. then you can do whatever you want.

I like wolf spiders. I once had a wolf spider in my house that would follow me around from room to room like a dog.

that is adorable. wolf spiders have great eyesight so i wonder if that means they have better-than-average intelligence like jumping spiders, since both species seem to have a curiosity streak.
 
Cows are cute and unremarkable when confined to their pasture, but are intimidating as hell when they show up in areas uninvited. I went outside during the night once, and only made it halfway before getting creeped out by the presence of large shadows all over the place. Turned out to be a herd that had escaped and migrated to my property.
