I figured 'em out. Seems that, despite their microscopic excuse for a brain, they have excellent pattern matching abilities. That’s important, because they’ll remember your face if you fuck with them.

My pet pig has no idea he’s “supposed” to be afraid of wasps, they’re not on his radar. And they don’t hassle him. I watched a nest grow on my porch, right over the door, didn’t bother me a bit.

(And no, that doesn’t go for every species on planet Earth. Some are wildly aggressive, but I find the evil fuckers to mainly be hornets.)
