Yep, paper wasps are chill as fuck. I had a hive of them living on my deck under the hand rail. I'd go out and chill with them daily with my coffee during that summer. They would stare at me for a bit. Then get back to eating bits of my deck.
I'm so confused, the paper wasps around here are territorial assholes. Had a nest built on my porch and had to stop using that door. We let them be because we built the house in their woods, but they were definitely not chill at all haha
Edit: Did some learning, the regional species of paper wasps we encounter are known not only for their aggression but also their vastly more painful sting. Wonderful!
Which region if I may ask? Id love to know where never to camp ;)
Ozark Mountains! But you should definitely still camp here, I live in the woods and wouldn't trade this area for anything!
It looks wonderful on pictures, but I live in Norrbotten, Sweden so its a bit far away for a camping trip
Norbotten is gorgeous! I'll come camp with you, you come camp with me?!
They're fun to watch because they often grab caterpillars from plants and take them away or eat them nearby. Great for gardens.
