There are fig wasps, of course. And other species, yes, that aren’t quite as good as bees at pollinating, but neither are butterflies, but no one has a problem with labeling them as pollinators. Plus there are the wasps that eradicate pests. The year I had a paper wasp family move in near my garden was a bumper year for my brassicas, because they absolutely annihilated the cabbage white caterpillar population. Basically, wasps aren’t just useless enemies.
Yes (but maybe you shouldn’t). See: https://lemmy.world/post/45251643/23076623
You can (very, very carefully!) pet the top of their thorax when they’re not flying, such as when preoccupied with feeding at a flower, although as TheTechnician27 outlined, it’s probably not good for them. Better is if you can find one that’s struggling to fly (semi-common this time of year, when things are still warming up) and then you can warm the little guy in your hands if they’re cold or chauffeur them from flower to flower if they’re hungry. Often this will help them regain the strength to keep flying, but sometimes they never do; I assume in these cases they’re dying, but at least I gave them some hospice care. It’s very strange to deposit a struggling bee on a flower, watch it feed, and then see it wiggle its little feet in the air like it’s calling the magic carpet back for another lift.
Asia, where they belong (and stay there!)
Edit: oops, still had wasps on the mind from another comment and was thinking of “killer hornets” (aka the Asian giant hornet), which thankfully has not naturalized in the Americas despite recent attempts. Killer bees, yeah, they here.
Wasps are pollinators too 🥺
Interesting, did not know it was a bank holiday. (Schools and such are still open.)
For as much as the US acts like a Christian theocracy, somehow Easter is just a regular weekend for us.

That’s the portion they have shonen protagonists eat to demonstrate their humorously preposterous appetites
1·4 months agoI mean, it’s not like it’s a time-consuming thing to do. I haven’t checked in with everyone, but at least one person is still using the setup two years later and is grateful for it so I call that a win. But my original point was about not making assumptions that people who use ublock are going to be tech savvy.
I’ve installed ublock on the phones of some very non-techie older adults in my life, specifically because they’re non-techie and never would have even known ublock existed otherwise. Granted these folks are definitely not on Lemmy either, but point is there’s a wide range of users out there
You know, there’s a shortage of RAM right now, not pixels.
Why does Baby Jesus look like Donald Trump?
Great, now “Hitler micropenis” is in my search history.
Not last night, they saw the Aurora down in fucking Florida!
Also >:( for AI image
Yes, that’s the point (it’s an edit of an image Trump posted to truth social, then deleted after backlash).
Normally I call out AI slop too, but this one has “official” precedence.
