Today's wasp of the day is Cratomus megacephala!

"mega-cephala" means "big head" but what that leaves out is that said big head is also shaped like a human thyroid. And what benefit is there to having a bow tie shaped noggin? Well, it's theorized that those little nubbins are what help this wasp push their way through their cocoon (and host) when they're done with their pupa nap.

not to be a pedant but this sort of post annoys me so bad bc ☝️☝️ in fact it’s the reverse: fantasy series often reflect societal biases. there is nothing evolutionarily “menacing” about wasps in comparison to bees. bees have better PR because we like to eat the stuff they make. that’s literally it. “agur only destruction” as if wasps don’t fill many of the SAME ecological roles as bees. they’re pollinators! they CREATE!!
people just assign moral value to living beings based on their own feelings and aesthetic choices. something that’s very common in fiction and one of the fantasy genre’s most notable flaws.

Today's wasp of the day is Belonogaster lateritia!

Wasps and birds typically do not get along. There are many types of birds that specialize in eating wasps, and there's even a few wasps that have been known to eat small young birds too. And yet, there are rare cases where wasps and birds coexist.
Sociable weaver birds (Philetairus socius) are known for making massive multifamily nests, and sometimes they specifically choose to be neighbors with the nests of wasps such as B. lateritia. It's believed the small birds do this because less predators are willing to mess with the stinging wasps around. It's also been theorized that the wasps' nest building instincts also help maintain the birds' nests. For the wasps, they also benefit from the protection of being a part of a larger structure. The flies that are attracted to the birds' waste are also an easy food source for the wasps' young.
based off this post by @75screamingtoads that made me start watching. as you can see my art gets progressively worse each panel lol
I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.
Hey OP, love your scalding take here; don't forget about commutes.
Once you factor in commute times (which even for short distances can be grotesquely inflated due to the fact that so many people are all commuting at the same time, but that's a different conversation) many people are actually devoting upwards of 10-12 hours a day on "work related tasks."
