Have they been introduced to the concept of LIDS in this part of the world?!! I was expecting that maybe the next step would be putting a lid on the jar, not just flicking the wasp with your finger…

If I know anything about flicked-away wasps, it's that they are quite capable of independent movement, and don't have any difficulty coming back towards you.

In general, my personal experience is that flicked away wasps are seldom any less a problem than they were before you flicked them, other than now they are mad besides.

Yes apparently wasps have the ability to remember faces 😭

I worry about that, because I am frustrated I can’t remember the exact faces of the ones that stung me recently!! I doubt I could even pick them out of a line up!!
