I would not want a wasp the size of a kitten though.

Would you rather fight one kitten-sized wasp or 100 wasp-sized kittens?

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 hours ago

One kitten-sized wasp. I only have two arms and defending against a single thing is a lot easier than defending against 100 mini kitties hell bent on my destruction.

Australia could use them to help with the rat problem.

Along with probably every city in the world.

Well yeah, but every other city would be horrified by plagues of rat-sized wasps killing and laying eggs in the wildlife.

For Australia thats not even notable.
