    I don’t hate wasps, but I wish they’d realize the apple I’m eating comes from the tree right behind me, that has a thousand more for them to munch on

      Okay, but like, clearly that is their apple???

      I mean so are all the others.

      And you are their meat if they get too hungry.

      They can be important pollinators while also being tiny demons.

        I’m all for symbiotic relationships, but that should also mean I get to eat an apple in peace. We literally have four apple trees in our backyard, plenty for everybody, and I let them eat whatever they want to their hearts desire.

        I think they’re just nearsighted and not very smart

      Open one for it. They smell the sweet delicious insides but can’t smell the skin

        95% of the ones on the trees are already pricked open by whatever animal found them
