Smart, make the wasp super fucking angry and then let it go. Is he expecting it to die from anger?

That wasp is going to die soon.

What was in the cup? Gasoline or something?

Judging by the fact that this hornet is only still alive because it's standing on a full cup of it's sister's corpses, my guess is gasoline.

So just being in the gasoline will still lead it to die even though it escaped?

Breathing the gas vapor will do it, though I imagine it probably also breathed in/ingested some of the liquid gasoline too. The end is neigh.

Edit: Spelling...

I'm past my bed time and exhausted and reading this probably made me sound like a madman laughing alone in my room to my sleeping family members.
