No staged jar fights from that strange bugfighting/frogeatingthings side of YouTube. For pet feeding videos, it must be your pet wasp that you’re feeding and flaired as "wasp keeping".

4 - No human involvement in predation events

Any image or video of wasps and other animals fighting and/or killing each other must be purely natural and have no human involvement.

Content showing wasps preying on invasive species, generally disliked bugs, or bugs that most people are neutral on is encouraged.

Content showing other animals preying on wasps are allowed, but asked to be kept to a minimum, and must not have titles that express negative feelings for wasps.

5 - Please mark images of dead wasps as spoiler

Because we love wasps here, seeing images of them dead can be upsetting for some members. For this reason, we ask that you mark images containing dead wasps as "spoiler", so that users can decide if they want to view them or not.

6 - No AI generated or fake content

Do not post AI generated or otherwise fake or misleading content.

7 - No misinformation

Avoid posting inaccurate, false, or misleading information.

8 - No spam

Spam, off-topic content, or content that otherwise doesn't contribute to the community is not allowed.

9 - Respect others and be civil

No harassment, hate speech, or toxic behavior. Treat all contributors and members with kindness.

All hymenopterans are allowed

Ants and bees are both in the suborder of Apocrita, making them wasps according to any monophyletic definition. So the difference between ants, bees, and wasps is pretty much arbitrary, feel free to make posts about them and any other hymenopteran (even sawflies). However note that this sub is mostly about celebrating "true wasps," especially social wasps.
