Not much in the world seeks out and attacks people with no warning.
Parasites, fire ants, and driver/army ants are the only things I can think of that do.
The two primarily carnivorous ant species don’t necessarily seek us out, they just don’t differentiate us from any other prey.
Everything else usually at least tries to evade or warn us away first.
Wasps are pollinators and rival spiders for pest control.
They aren’t just here to fuck you up.
Fun fact: Wasps’ facial recognition is phenomenal, and not just to their own species.
They learn to recognize individuals who are alert and responsive to their warnings.
They don’t hear as well, but they can learn to recognize your voice.
The more often they see a person respond to warnings by backing off until they lower their v stance, the closer that person has to get before they feel threatened enough to warn them again.
Wasps and I are pretty cool because of exactly this.
I can damn near touch my resident ladies’ nests beceause the new ones learn to recognize me, specifically, as a non-threat every year.
It has come to be generally assumed that any one with me is also a non-treat, unless they prove otherwise.
