Humans. There are so many humans that go out of their way to inflict emotional damage. What other animal does that?

Yea I opened this thread expecting humans to be the obvious answer, surprised only one person's said it.

I wanted to say human but this thread is for animals.

Mosquitoes. Not only are they annoying and irritating as fuck, but they have killed God-only-Knows how many people.

And wasps. At least with bees, you get delicious honey to go with all the stings and they pollinate our crops. Bees also only sting if they feel threatened, because they'll die after stinging. Wasps on the other hand, don't die after stinging you, so they can do it however many times they want, because they're assholes that way.

When I was a kid, my father told me a story about bees that I think is pretty sweet. It goes like this (it's a long story, so I'll shorten it a lot):

Many many years ago, there were no bees. There was only the wasp. The wasp became mad with power, and stung everything and everyone. It didn't use it in self-defense, as was the intention with the creation of its stinger, but used it as a weapon.

When the creator saw this, they spoke thus to the wasp: "With power comes responsibility. From this day on, you may only sting once; and then, you will die".

Some accepted these words, and became bees. Others did not, and stayed wasps.

I have elaborate fantasies about not having mosquitoes in my life, involving force-fields.

Anything that prevents me from sleeping is my enemy :)

Bedbugs. Those are about the only thing I support wholesale murder of, and I'm a vegan.

Guinea hens are frustrating to work with. They're loud, panicky, and incredibly stupid even for domestic fowl. Everything you've ever heard about lemmings is true about guinea fowl, made worse by their ability to scream, to fly, and their inability to do fucking anything else for themselves. At least they lay frequently and eat ticks.

I'm not really a fan of tardigrades. They are invincible water bears... and weird.
