Indifferent to yellow jackets because they don't hurt that much for me. I'd put a Pogonomyrmex sting over a yellow jacket sting personally. I'd say the ants i've stung by were worse than wasps especially considering the size difference. 

I know some ants are worse in terms of sting but in my country idk any species of ant that sting like a wasp or worse that's why I said that

 

Do you guys have manica rubida in greece? Never been stung by rubida, but i've been stung by a smaller manica species and I'd say its nearly as bad as pogonomyrmex, not much initial oomph, but a much more persistant throb.

According to ant wiki we have, is this manica rubida?
I found it in a park close to my home in 2018 (perhaps is still there a colony)




Sorry if its off topic!

Personally I don't really "hate" wasps, just if one gets close to me I am getting out of there.

Greek Ants, that is an Aphaenogaster sp. They do not sting to my knowledge.

Thanks for the info!

I don’t like seeing honey bees. They’re invasive. I also hate wasps. They still sting you if you’re doing nothing and nowhere near the nest. In my experience, you can go very close to say a Pogonomyrmex nest or some other sp, but you can’t come anywhere near a wasp nest unless u want to get stung the [censored] out of.
