This may have been my scariest adventure in Pennsylvania, yet! I helped a wasp get back outside without getting stung! This wasp was in the house for a week while I was there, but he didn't bother anyone or anything, so they just let him do his wasp things and left him alone, too.
Finally, today, he was by the door to go outside, so we decided to help him get back outside without hurting him. We did that by me going over to the wasp and allowing him to climb onto me and then we took him outside and placed him where he would be able to safely climb back off of me. He actually told me thank you for helping him get back outside and to fresh air. Overall, it was pretty awesome and I got over another fear that I had!
I learned that wasps usually aren't that grouchy and that if you do not swat at them or agitate them, they aren't likely to sting you. I also learned that wasps, like bees, pollinate plants and flowers as they feed on nectar. If we were to kill all wasps it would actually cause more problems than it would solve. I learned that wasps do serve a purpose and despite being a problem at certain times of the year, they are a beneficial insect. I am glad that I met this one, he was really nice!
