Many wasps are highly predatory, so other insects are at risk. The German wasps (as we used to call them) that were introduced to NZ are considered a significant threat to native arthropods.

Muslims are the greatest threat to your kids. What are you going to do about that?

Even in the autumn, they only get aggressive when attacked. They have no reason to attack you just for the hell of it. If you leave them alone, they leave you alone.

I used to do the same from the age of 6. Then, from the age of 10 or so, I used to keep an eye on my younger brother while we both walked there. There was a lot less traffic then, though, and parents weren't so scared.

No, I cannot explain it because he's had plenty of training - but would I let him out by himself - bugger I would. He just exhibits unsafe tendencies.

At five I was walking to school too. There were six hundred others doing it too. Crossing several busy roads. And the schools never closed for a bit of snow either.
