We love all animals. We wanna start by saying that. But, we know that not all people are as animal-obsessed as we are, and that some animals get more hate than other. One of these animals is the wasp. For people who've never looked into wasps, it's probably hard to see anything good about them, especially when the only time wasps go viral is when said wasps build a demonic-looking nest above someone's garage.
Still, it's important to remember that every animal has a function in the animal kingdom and that typically-hated animals are important too. And also - that wasps can be friendly, if you treat them right. The same goes for all little bugs. A while back, there was a teenager who rescued and befriended a bumblebee, you wouldn't expect that either. You simply need to act right and be kind, and then maybe a wasp will choose to be a friend to you.
The same thing goes for so many other animals - from bees all the way to just cats. People hold misconceptions about animals all the time. That's why they're scared when they shouldn't be or why they think that cats are unable to have affection for people. It's important to get educated about all animals.
We can't blame people for being scared of some animals though. Wasps are indeed not to be messed with. But that doesn't mean that they can't be friendly, this story proves that. You're scared, and most likely, they're scared too, and we feed off that and get defensive right away instead of giving each other a chance.
