Most of the 'good' that wasps do are the absolutely TINY parasitic and non-stinging wasps. I'm sure we can all appreciate their uses. I just want rid of the mid-size and above stinging wasps, the rest of them can keep predating and pollinating.

It's like saying "stop hating bacterial meningitis, bacteria lives in your gut y'know!" Like yeah I just hate the bad one

Oh yeah for sure, and I don't mind Pneumoccocus chilling in my gut and respiratory tract, just leave my brain membranes alone.
