Insects beat us to so much architecture, flight, slavery, economies of specialized workers, the more I think about it, the more it looks like we took all the best parts of the insect kingdom and built the modern world. We do it clean, efficient and more production is our highest goal, we don't look gross to ourselves but essentially we are an echo of what Nature, specifically the insect family, has been doing for millennia.

Of course mosquitoes, cockroaches and flies are okay...

@therealzhenplaz200 Ай бұрын

Oh yeah and apparently wasps are fine too...

They are. Just because they personally bother you doesn't mean they aren't useful to the ecosystem. Tell me, would you rather have flies and roaches, or would you rather have rotting meat and feces sit around for years and never decompose or return to the carbon cycle? It's baffling how fundamentally human-centric your argument is, and how you fail to grasp how it's merely the result of your selfish perspective.

@@therealzhenplaz200 98% of wasps do not form hives and don't bother people. They play crucial roles in controlling other insect populations as well as pollination. They're also a food source for many vertebrates. You're simple if you surmise that "wasps" only means "yellow stingy insect that bothers me." Even social wasps have an ecological niche to fill. Your view is merely the ignorant perspective of an egotistical human who only cares about themselves.
