MODERATORS
Some of them also have larvae that are genetically programmed to eat their hosts’ vital organs last, to ensure the food source doesn’t rot.
It’s not precisely evil, but it’s close. It’s a deliberate, if not conscious, move by evolution to use consciousness as a meat preservative.
Evolution does be like that. The parasitoid wasps are some of the most diverse and ecologically important types, actually, and they don't sting.
To be clear, I think nature is overrated. I might have come across as a back-to-the-woods guy in that first comment but I'm not. I just don't think wasp hate in particular is motivated by anything wholesome or educated.
