Bro it's fine just import a bunch of bats to eat your leftover lacewings.

[lemon10]

But then what do you do about all those bats you have that are now pooping all over your car?

1000-250000 though, from single shipment to biweekly, and from 1 shipment to 12.

So that's $27 for 1000 eggs, to $6000 for 3,000,000 (Or 37 eggs/dollar vs 500 eggs/dollar)

I could at this very moment order a million eggs and then wait for them to hatch and let them loose in my house. It would be a crazy thing to do, there would be absolutely no point and it would probably traumatize me for life, but thanks to this site I now know that I have that power.

Just host a black sabbath concert, ez.

A gauntlet run to the fuck who translated "Avenger of Murder, Grudging Anger and The Unrelenting One" as "Dark Lurkers, Cruel, Fierce and Baneful".

Don’t park your car in the bat cave.

This is bat country!

I've mentioned stuff about my... bowel trouble elsewhere. It continued with what I'm going to nicely call An Experience.

Does this mean we're going to need a closed casket funeral for your toilet?

I would never buy parasitic wasps to prey on anything no matter how much the prey thing hurt me. Those things are literally the worst fucking thing in the ecosystem. They should be wiped out

Definitely caught the covid, couldn't sleep, heads killing me.

[Frumple]

Hope you come out of it alright. May a long covid not follow your short one.

For what it's worth, lacewings don't seem to be wasps and only a few of them (some species of mantis flies, specifically) seem to be parasites, so you'd probably be good, there.

Not sure if many wasp species, parasitic or otherwise, are recommended under... basically any circumstances... as a population control method, really. Attempts to use a predator species like that tends to prefer ones that aren't quite so human hostile.

[hector13]

Parasitic wasps aren’t that bad? Like… they’ll prey on the things they need for their life cycle, which tend to be pests. They don’t cause issues beyond that so I’m pretty sure they do get used to deal with pest species.

The things they do to their prey are pretty horrible, sure, but that’s nature.

They're the most disgusting things in existance have you seen their bodies they're shaped like pure horror

[Maximum Spin]

Parasitic wasps are in most cases no harm to humans at all. They aren't the same as the social wasps that build paper nests and sting you to death.

[Great Order]

They are harmful to humans in the sense that they still sting sometimes.

The tarantula hawk's a parasitoid wasp after all.

And scriver, hope you don't know about horsehair worms. They're like parasitoid wasps with the squick factor kicked up a notch.
