Many years ago I was attacked deliberately and wilfully by a "Warrior Wasp" who followed me everywhere because he hated my guts. That didn't do me too much harm. I had the presence of mind to remove 2 rings before my fingers swelled up like sausages.
Now I don't wear rings....and now I feed wasps. We have a nice relationship. I gave a visiting wasp some pear yesterday, and when I came back to look, he/she had eaten quite a bit of it!
Wasps also love sawdust. They make their nests out of it, mixed with saliva. Sometimes you will see wasps chomping away at any rotten or soft wood. They are collecting the wood dust in their mouths, to carry home to build the nest. Wasps' nests are most wonderful sculptures in the 'Art Nouveau' style!
