Ok, fine, educate me, what do wasps contribute to the environment?

People who post shit like this are being intentionally obtuse and provocative. "Wasp" is a big tent classification, and what everyone else thinks of are a few specific creatures.

A wasp is any insect of the narrow-waisted suborder Apocrita of the order Hymenoptera which is neither a bee nor an ant;

Vast majority of things that are "wasps" don't bite/sting and many are important pollinators.

The bitey stingy ones? Fuck em.

You lost me at the end. Now you're the one being obtuse and provocative. Just because something stings or bites doesn't mean it isn't good for the environment.

Just because something is good for the environment doesn't mean the environment can't live without it

The world would survive an extinction event given enough time, that doesn't mean the loss of biodiversity is acceptable.
