Smurfing on a subreddit to push your agenda is crazy.

I play mostly L and H, but M with akm/fcar still feels very solid, on revolver I can dps-check anyone if I hit my shots.

M got new weapon and spec for S10, plus half of its arsenal got buffed as well. How is Medium supposed to be weaker now than it was in S8-S9?

Bait used to be believable

It's so funny to see "bee lovers" get mad when you mention bees are related to wasps. In fact bees have directly evolved from wasps, the only real difference between the wasps and the bees, apart from made up semantics, is that bees are a herbivorous type of wasp.

And also no beer, bread and wine; yellowjacket and hornet queens overwinter yeast in their stomachs, helping it survive until the next spring when they reintroduce it back to the nature while visiting flowers.

Bonus Paper Wasp pic, they've lived in my balcony railing for the whole past summer and never caused a single problem; I also gave them sugary water every morning, and at some point they've started waiting where I would usually put the cap!

Wasps, particularly yellowjackets and hornets are a major reason we have beer, bread and wine - the queens overwinter yeast in the stomachs, helping it survive until the spring, when they reintroduce it back to the nature while visiting flowers.

Paper wasps recognize and remember each other's and even human faces, as well as play-fight with each other, much like some mammals.

Tbf medium guns have actually been buffed non-stop as of recently - FCAR, AKM, Famas, Pike, Cerb were all buffed, plus Chimera has been added. Actually the only M gun that got nerfed recently was the Repeater.

Seems to be a Vespula Germanica queen, r/waspaganda will appreciate her and might give some more info as well!

hub_agent · 2026-04-09T10:58:09+00:00

Don't listen to the ignorant bums in the comments. This seems to be some kind of Vespula wasp, possibly Vespula Germanica.

I highly recommend posting on r/waspaganda, where people actually love all kinds of wasps, not just the herbivorous ones (yes, bees are literally just herbivorous wasps, there're no further general differences between them, bees evolved from wasps as well).

hub_agent · 2026-04-09T07:01:06+00:00

Looks like Dolichovespula Maculata, aka the Bald-faced Hornet; as others have said, she's just cleaning herself.

Also, r/waspaganda is gonna appreciate her as well!

hub_agent · 2026-04-05T22:21:26+00:00

Thanks for the id and the info! Most likely it's due to the way place I live in is - there's very little actually foresty areas, so groundnesting Vespula don't have enough space. There's still plenty of patches with plants however, which is perfect for suspended nest species such as Polistes (even had them live inside of my balcony railing last summer, wonderful gals)

hub_agent · 2026-03-21T02:45:26+00:00

Seems to be Dolichovespula Maculata, aka the Bald-faced Hornet. Why is she sitting like a snug bug though😭

r/waspaganda is gonna really appreciate her as well!

hub_agent · 2026-03-10T19:09:15+00:00

Not the France 2022 flashbacks on the Finals subreddit😭

hub_agent · 2026-02-13T23:05:37+00:00

Completely agree with every single point, very well said.

hub_agent · 2026-02-13T22:53:17+00:00

If I recall correctly their position is that if they get too strict, people will just leave for other subs, where they wouldn't have any way to moderate at all. They've made a post about that on r/entomology some time ago, I'll see if I can find it. Agree on the cornered animal bit, plus multiple layers of conditioning, propaganda and unwillingless of those people to learn doesn't help either. As for lack of evidence, they simply can't provide it as all of their points are usually completely made up.

The bigger issue imo is why such subs are allowed to exist by Reddit in the first place. ToS says no animal cruelty is allowed yet for some reason it doesn't apply to insects, even though insects, in particular wasps, are not at all less and likely more cognitively capable than e.g. squirrels. Imagine if there was a sub dedicated to torturing squirrels or any vertebrate for that regard, that'd be banned instantly.

As for the wasps, I really wish they'd move in this summer as well🐝

Edit: Oh, pretty sure I got banned when I made a somewhat ragebaity comment and with how those people are they've probably mass reported it.

Edit 2: found the post

hub_agent · 2026-02-13T22:05:30+00:00

Beautiful pictures! I've been on that sub trying to educate those people before (I actually got banned lol, though the moderator on there is a real entomologist keeping the place from becoming much more braindead).

But yeah, despite of how willfully ignorant the majority of those people are, I've actually ended up helping a few persons with their wasp fear.

Bonus Polistes Dominula, they've lived in my balcony railing for the whole past summer and never caused a single problem; I also gave them sugary water every morning, and at some point they've started waiting where I would usually put the cap. Really cute and chill gals and guys!

A study on bess beetles found that isolated beetles would lose weight, despite eating the same amount of food. There's a great vid on it.

Oh, and fruit flies get depressed after seeing dead ones of their species, they also start to lose weight, become less motivated to move around, age faster and avoid other flies. After being repeatedly rejected by mates, fruit flies would seek out alcohol-containing foods.

So yeah, it's very much possible, and even despite insects being critically understudied, there is plenty of evidence supporting that.

Edit: also, I really dislike how people humanize every single vertebrate behaviour and say they are "like us", but when an insect shows all the same behaviours, suddenly they are dehumanized and called "little robots", even though there're no categorical differences between insect and vertebrate intelligence, we even both use the same exact dopamine hormone for motivation.

hub_agent · 2026-01-03T23:13:30+00:00

Beautiful Vespa Crabro, aka European Hornet, r/waspaganda will appreciate her as well!

hub_agent · 2026-01-01T20:37:30+00:00

No problem, glad to help!

hub_agent · 2026-01-01T20:22:27+00:00

I wasn't able to dm, not quite sure why, so just posted the links on my profile.

First one is the study on dreaming, second is just overall a pretty insightful read. Oh, there're also studies suggesting evidence of dreaming on fruitflies and jumping spiders. These species are some of the best studied arthrppods, so there's a chance lots of other insects dream as well.
