100% agree. Wasps deserve to live.

Wasps do pollination too.
it also happens that they sting stuff repeatedly, kill stuff many times their size over, set up shop anywhere they want with the only responses being specialized gasses or extreme(ly stupid) methods of getting rid of them and generally make things unpleasant, they also make no honey.

its not that wasps do nothing, it's just that the one thing they DO is oft outweighed by the other things they also happen to do.

PutukSpitsVenom responds:

I mean sure, but an animals worth shouldn't be measured in how beneficial they are to humans. People love wolves, people love tigers, but those don't really benefit humans. They're great animals, of course, but not really helpful. They exist simply because they successfully stood in the face of evolution.
Plus, you could make a big argument about how honeybees, the ones everyone loves, are not native to half the places they're found and actually hugely detrimental to said environments.
