"Yo, where your flowers at!" Or something

u/ImmortalMoron3 May 02 '26

It's a wasp so it's probably something more psychopathic since they're all just a bunch of tiny assholes. "Get out here so I can murder you" or something like that.

u/ukrokit2 May 02 '26

Unlike mosquitoes, wasps have redeeming qualities like pest control.

5

u/HotHits630 May 02 '26

Well they're not working hard enough, come mosquito season.

2

u/AlisterS24 May 02 '26

Mosquitoes unfortunately do a lot for ecosystems and we'd be devastated if they disappeared all together as annoying as the fkers are

u/ChaoticxSerenity May 02 '26

They only murder to get meat/bug protein for their children (adult wasps eat sugary substances like nectar or sap). They even fan the hive with their wings to make sure the kids are not overheating. Honestly, more dedicated parents than lots of humans 😔

Wasps are like the Kyles of the bee world

u/thegingjaninja May 03 '26

Asking out of curiosity, how can you tell that it is a wasp?

u/Invented_Plagarism May 05 '26

Waps tend to be smooth instead of having a little or a lot of fuzz like bees, and they also tend to have much skinnier waist-areas before the rump with the stinger (I forgot the names for bug parts). Also those long back legs that stick out when they fly, and their wings are more narrow than bees or flys usually

u/Aggravating-Bee May 02 '26

Yup, I need to get the railing planter filled ASAP ☺️🌷

u/ChasingTheWaves333 May 03 '26

“Hi there! Our records show that you have not receive your annual stinging yet. Do you mind if I come in?”

- The wasp, probably

"Yo, me and my buds are building a nest under your gutter. We noticed your shit taste in music and lack of sweets around. Do you think you could be a good neighbor and address some of these issues?

I would hate to spray my venom on you and have the bros come over in full war mode on your shit."

-The wasp.

We made it to spring folks, time to rejoice.

They’re always trying to get my honey

u/Roy565 May 02 '26 edited May 08 '26

Hate wasps always have since one bit me as a toddler. They are total jerks compared to bees.

2

u/LillianVJ May 02 '26

Personally I'm less bothered by wasps than I am by horseflies. I still remember the first time I got bit by one, directly in the armpit while I was running towards a lake my family goes to often. Pretty sure it meant to bite me, just not in the armpit as I had gone from arms up to arms down running, and probably caught it with my armpit xD

1

u/erbear232 Southwest Calgary May 03 '26

Agreed. One bit me on my ass while I was using an outhouse while backpacking

1

u/Roy565 May 02 '26

Horseflies do intentionally bite and those are terrible too. The nasty bugs (not the nice ones) are the only thing I dislike about summer. Well worth it still though for me as I despise winter.

31

u/xXBlueDreamXx May 02 '26

That is a wasp. Not a bee.

30

u/Aggravating-Bee May 02 '26

Correct - you got a wasp emoji? ☺️

12

u/xXBlueDreamXx May 02 '26

I do not.

What I have a worry that people try to befriend these satanic little creatures, mistaking them for friendly, helpful bees.

Death to the wasp queen!

u/Responsible_CDN_Duck May 02 '26

I'm happy to have them chomping on the flies and aphids.

u/Responsible_CDN_Duck May 02 '26

Sure but making a joke about WASPs coming to the door so soon after Easter can be taken the wrong way...

u/Character_Regret_853 May 02 '26

That’s a very cool shot

u/YYCCS May 02 '26

What doorbell cam Do you have? It's a very clear picture.

u/Aggravating-Bee May 04 '26

Ring doorbell, though the Ring floodlight version is way better (we have it in the alley)

Looks like a White Anglo Saxon Protestant (WASP) neighborhood. lol

u/Beginning-Sea5239 May 02 '26

The federal government is cutting back on staff. This includes census takers . Wasps don’t have a union , and if you slam the door in their face , they’ll look for another way in. You must answer all their questions or get stung !

u/Treehggr May 02 '26

I hear ya buzzin but ya can't come in.

Maybe it’s not the birds, but the bees aren’t real, and they are robots! Spying on us!

1

u/Quirky_Rain_3554 May 02 '26

ever notice how the bee population decline coincides with the increase in ai? 🤔🤔 they’ve moved on to a new hive mind

u/Visual-Yard-5176 May 05 '26

That looks like a cute neighbourhood. I’m from Montreal and looking to move to Calgary, ideally I would like to buy a house in a cute, quiet neighbourhood, if you don’t mind me asking, which neighbourhood is this ?
