You keep wasps as pets? I love tarantulas, scorpions, and large centipedes, but wasps, bees, and the like scare the crap outta me!

i've got to ask. did you just randomly catch a wasp? is it a queen? are you expecting it to build a nest and start a colony?

 

[bhoeschcod]

yeah i randomly caugt it and no it wasnt a queen and i dont expect it to nest.
