Are those pesky Asian wasps even useful on Earth or should they be erradicated? The world's largest wasp has been spotted in Washington State. They're so horrible looking.
Things they do
- They kill bees, which are useful for crop pollination
- They attack and kill people in Japan
- All they do is destroy goods and invade... useless creatures
Good. Hopefully the mantis gets rid of all of those nasty hornets.

A normal honeybee stung me once long ago and it still hurt a bit. I can't imagine the pain of being stung by the biggest wasp ever. In addition, they can sting multiple times without dying and can turn very aggressive. If 20-30 of those ugly monsters sting you, then you can die. That's a good reason to be scared of them.

- Yellow jackets can as well but these are worse. I did hear about them. Like what I just mentioned and what's in the thread title many living creatures serve no purpose whatsoever.
I am curious about something - are you sure you were stung by a honeybee and it wasn't a yellow jacket? Many call the latter "bees" when they are clearly not. They are wasps and look similar. Honeybees usually do not sting unless threatened and unlike yellow jackets they die after one sting.

I'm assuming it was a bee. It looked like a bee. Then again it was so long ago that I could be wrong. I was 8 years old at the time.
Thank you for mentioning about your thread. I feel the same way about mosquitoes too. If they underwent extinction, they wouldn't be missed either.
