While bees have long been viewed as a friend to humanity, people have not, historically, had many reasons to like wasps. They don't make honey or (most of them) pollinate flowers, are far more aggressive, and can sting as many times as they like. They're also highly territorial and easily roused, even by mistake, in defense of their nests, and pester humans for anything remotely sugary they're carrying. People have therefore learned to associate them with angry swarms and impending pain. Modern science hasn't helped their image much: while we now know that many wasps play a very useful role in ecosystems and agriculture by hunting insect pests such as tomato hornworm caterpillars, they usually do it by paralyzing and laying their eggs on their prey so that the larval wasp devours the host animal from the inside. As a result, wasps have developed strongly negative reputations in popular culture. Non-sapient wasps will be vicious, aggressive animals or roving swarms of droning pain; sapient wasps run the gamut from simple bullies to ferocious raiders and barbarians preying upon their fellow insects — or, if large enough, preying upon people. Wasp-themed characters, whether they simply use wasp imagery or are associated with actual wasps, are rarely pleasant people either. While wasps are the most common suspect, their cousins, the hornets, are just as guilty. Hornets are much larger and their sting is far more venomous, with the biggest of them being able to kill even larger animals and attacking other animals as a colony for food. Don't be surprised if a work dumps them in the same boat as wasps, as chances are that said work did its homework. When female, which is quite common given that most eusocial wasps and hornets function the same way eusocial bees and ants do, they embody the Dark Feminine of the Light Feminine and Dark Feminine spectrum, especially when compared to gentler bees. Often found in the Hornet Hole. See also Unpleasant Animal Counterpart and Animal Jingoism for when villainous wasps and hornets are matched with Virtuous Bees or ants, and Scary Stinging Swarm for when any of these insects go out in force to sting and harass their victims. Compare Bee Afraid for when it's bees who receive the unpleasant insect treatment, and Ant Assault. Not to be confused with the other wasp, the New England White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. This is not a list of all wasps/hornets in fiction. This refers specifically to them being portrayed as more monstrous than they are in Real Life and/or defined by their monstrosity. |

Shadows of the Apt: The main stories deal with the kinden, fantasy nations of humans patterned on the appearance, behaviour and abilities of various insects. The main antagonist of the series is the fierce and conquering "Empire in Black and Gold", or simply the Wasp Empire, a polity of humans based on wasp behaviour and abilities. A short story in the For Love of Distant Shores collection introduces a separate culture of Wasp-kinden called the Ichneumon, who are based on parasitic wasps instead of social wasps. What does it mean to be a human laying parasitic offspring in another human when that’s more or less what human reproduction already does? A lot more Body Horror is involved, it turns out. |

Donkey Kong Country: One of the most common enemies encountered in the series are the Zingers, gorilla-sized yellowjacket wasps whose spike-covered bodies make them immune to all the attacks. The Kongs would need to either chuck a barrel at them or get help from an Animal Buddy to defeat them. Two boss variants exist: Queen B in the first game and King Zing in the second. A Suspiciously Similar Substitute appeared in the third game called Buzz. Aside from being robotic wasps with buzzsaws on their abdomen, they are mechanically identical to their predecessors. | |

In Nekomew's Potty Trouble and Nekomew's Nightmares, one of the nightmare monsters is a wasp caretaker who zips around in a blink of an eye, keeping things in check. The latter game elaborates on this; as one of the unlockable memories reveals that she was only tidying up the orphanage's playroom and carefully inspecting the children. Her otherwise frightening appearance is what drove Nekomew to have nightmares of her. | |

Miraculous Ladybug: The Monster of the Week Queen Wasp has this as her motif, being an evil version of heroine Queen Bee, with the ability to also summon swarms of wasps. Inverted with Vesperia, the Bee Miraculous heroine who replaced Chloé following her Face–Heel Turn. Her alias comes from the Italian word "vespa" (meaning "wasp"), but she's far kinder and more altruistic than her predecessor. |

RWBY: Lancers are Creatures of Grimm that take the form of huge hornets around the size of a person. They live among the floating islands of Lake Matsu in Anima and attack any airships that attempt to travel through their airspace. They have the ability to use their stingers like grappling guns, hooking onto ships and reeling them in where they use their powerful mandibles to chew their way through the ship's hull. A small swarm of Lancers can be enough to overwhelm even airships that have Huntsmen on board. Queen Lancers, however, act alone; they're mammoth creatures, easily dwarfing cargo ships, and have the ability to fire darts that burst out of each side of their bodies, on top of being able to use their mandibles and tail stingers. A Queen Lancer is so tough she can easily survive an explosion caused by multiple crates of Dust igniting at the same time. | |

Rick and Morty: In "Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat", Rick goes to a reality where people evolved from bugs rather than apes and meets their version of the Sanchez family. Defying expectations, the Wasp Sanchez family are at worst Affably Evil and Obliviously Evil and at best Jerk with a Heart of Gold. Wasp Beth and Wasp Jerry seem Happily Married and Wasp Rick even explains that if your species' reproduction cycle involves laying eggs in another creatures' eye sockets, then you have to compensate by having a little empathy for someone in need of help. However, they do eat Caterpillar Goldenfold and his babies off the dinner table while he screams in agony and pleads to die a quick death. | |

Discworld: A downplayed trope in Lords and Ladies: Mr Brooks the beekeeper has no truck with anthropomorphising insects and doesn't think of wasps as evil any more than bees are good. It's just that if you're for bees, you have to be against wasps. Having said that, though, he does compare the psychotic sadists of The Fair Folk to wasps, with the castle as the beehive. | |

Maya the Bee: The hornets are the sworn enemies of the bees and are portrayed as hostile and aggressive. They imprison Maya partway through the book, and the climax occurs when the hornets attack the beehive in force and disaster is averted only through Maya forewarning the bees of the hornets' planned invasion. The hornets are absent in the cartoon adaption, but are replaced by the wasps Stinger, Deeze and Doze, a recurring trio of bullies who regularly antagonize Maya and her friends and constantly try to steal fruit and honey for themselves. | |

They implant eggs in their hosts which hatch into nymphs inside the host, releasing a paralyzing agent that sends their host into a coma.

Monster Musume has Killa the Killer Bee. She's drawn far less human-looking than other monster girls and can control Japanese Giant Hornets. It's actually a subversion, as it turns out that she's actually not evil or even hostile to Kimihito. Her venom is actually quite weak and the only reason she got labeled a dangerous species is because when she was going through customs she stupidly tried to attack Rachnera in revenge for the latter having humiliated her years ago. | |

Pathfinder: Warmonger wasps are enormous, armor-plated biomechanical wasp-like constructs originating from the Abyss, the home dimension of the demons. They're quite literally Always Chaotic Evil, like everything else from the Abyss, and extremely aggressive. Some mutate over time into the more powerful massacre wasps, which command their lesser kin as they fight alongside the hordes of the Abyss. In the Wrath of the Righteous adventure path, the fallen paladin Staunton Vhane rides a demonic wasp of monstrous size. Calistria, in addition to her better known role as the goddess of lust, is also a deity of revenge. Her sacred animal is the wasp and one of her titles is the Savored Sting. The daemonic harbinger Slandrais, who rules over lechery and obsession and enjoys twisting and warping mortal souls, takes the form of a gigantic, bloodstained wasp made out of ice and ashes, with two long tails ending in scorpion stingers. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Hellwasps are fiendish insects native to Hell. They're usually mindless if aggressive insects, but when they gather in swarms they form a Hive Mind intelligent and wicked enough to be Lawful Evil in alignment. They're avoided even by devils and have the habit of infesting the bodies of their victims, animating them like grotesque puppets to accomplish acts of evil they couldn't hope to accomplish on their own. Hellwasp devils are true devils in the shape of enormous, vaguely humanoid wasps, and unlike other devils can be Chaotic and Neutral Evil in addition to Lawful Evil. They were originally wasp-like demons before their demon lord was killed by the infernal princess Glasya, at which point they chose her as their new queen, were transformed into devils, and took residence in Glasya's Garden of Evil in Hell to serve her as guards and shock troops. The wizard Otiluke, fearing an attack by the slaadi, decided to create howler wasps, oversized insects with the screaming heads of simians. They're so aggressive that they'll attack anything in their territory regardless of how hungry they are, and in combat, a dying howler wasp can tag its killer with a pheromone that drives other howler wasps into a berserk rage. |

Girl Genius: Slaver wasps are the most ubiquitous servants and forces of the Other, make up the bulk of its armies, and are the main threat associated with it in-universe. They come in two types: flightless warrior forms half the height of a man, with forelegs capable of impaling a human being, and the regular-sized slaver wasps proper, which true to their name work by flying into a person's mouth and turning them into a mind-controlled revenant to serve the Other as either a shambling zombie or a spy. | |

BattleTech has the Bewasp, a bee-analogue that is around twice the size of the Asian giant hornet and is fiercely territorial. It also stings like the dickens thanks to serrated barbs and a virulent venom, and a swarm of bewasps can handily drive armed infantry off the field. Even native-born citizens consider them to be unusually aggressive when 'offworld invaders' show up. Amusingly inverted by the Wasp class BattleMech, which is not considered to be particularly mean or threatening by post-3050 standards, even among infantry. | |

Bug Fables: The Wasp Kingdom is the main antagonistic faction to the Ant Kingdom the protagonists hail from. They are a dictatorship ruled by a cruel king who wants the immortality of the Everlasting Sapling so he can Take Over the World, and whenever wasp soldiers are seen, they are up to no good. Subverted, as it turns out the Wasp Kingdom was under some kind of mind control from the king, who isn't even a wasp himself. Downplayed with Zasp, a paper wasp warrior who is a part of Team Mothiva, Team Snakemouth's arch-rivals. However, he is hostile only when around his love interest Mothiva; when she isn't around, he can be surprisingly friendly, albeit still gruff. |

In Mr. Holmes, the titular character opines that bees are fundamentally good because they pollinate and create honey, which makes the wasps — as their natural enemy — bad. This is borne out at the end of the film when his young friend Roger is stung by a swarm of wasps and has an allergic reaction that nearly kills him. | |

Animal Crossing, throughout the series, has wasps (erroneously localized as bees until Animal Crossing: New Horizons), which are the main hazard you face when you try to chop or shake trees for their goods; doing either carries a risk of dropping a hive and having an entire swarm of wasps chase after you. Depending on the game, getting stung once or twice by them will knock you out and have you respawn at your home, but you can heal yourself by taking medicine after being stung once. If you can catch a wasp, they fetch for a lot of Bells. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Among the many, many reasons life in the fortieth millennium absolutely sucks, we have the charming creature called the Psychneuein. These are nine-foot long psychically-attuned wasps which can turn themselves intangible at a thought and have a taste for sentient creatures as prey. If you're lucky, they'll just eat you, if not, they'll implant their larva into you, which devours you from within until it tears its way free. They are also quite possibly sapient and are capable of using the local space elf species' ancient Portal Network to spread throughout the galaxy, so it's theoretically possible to find them anywhere. | |

Arachnid: The Organization frontman codenamed after Asian giant hornets is shown to be a powerful assassin with Hyper-Awareness and a knack for quickly killing people via anaphylactically shocking stings. It is later revealed he is under the mind control of an ageless paranormal woman themed after Strepsipteras — bugs that parasite wasps — and that her cruelty went as far as getting Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuked on purpose so she could lose WWII spectacularly. Yasuomi Fujimoto has the Sand Wasp codename and is a Mad Scientist, a torturer and an implied necrophile. During the Arachnid Hunt, one of his pupils uses a brainwashing device based on jewel wasps to control Megumi, a cockroach-girl, and randomly puts her in a dominatrix costume for fetish reasons. The Caterpillar prequel has the unnamed Fig Wasp, a woman who after murdering her rapists goes on psychotic episodes trying to stab people as if she's raping them back. After being turned into an assassin by the Organization, she uses a drill on a wire themed after the stings of fig wasps to penetrate her victims. Karina Tsuji, the supposed Unknown Relative of the protagonist Alice introduced in the sequel, has a Spider Wasp motif and is shown to be flagrantly manipulative towards the spider-girl like the parasitoid she's meant to be. She wants to make Alice into the Puppet Queen of the Organization and threatens to kill her if she refuses to cooperate. |

The Hunger Games: Tracker jackers are wasp-based "muttations" — genetically engineered animals developed by the oppressive Capitol as living weapons in the civil war seventy-four years before the novels. They act less like territorial animals and more like insanely aggressive living weapons. They can track targets for at least a mile, their stings instantly create agonizing plum-sized lumps, and their venom causes hallucinations that can drive a person insane. They were created to be an equivalent to land mines to be spread around rebel territories, and have been kept around by the Capitol as a symbol of their power over their subjects. | |

While the first two are benevolent and look like her science teacher and her father respectively, the third one is hostile and has the form of a human skeleton completely covered in wasps. Earlier in the story, Trish is stung multiple times after accidently upsetting a wasp nest, so if the encounter is a dream, this explains why she imagined the evil god to look like wasps. | |

The Ant Bully: The chief recurring danger to the ant colony, besides Lucas himself, are the wasps also living in the garden, who regularly conduct raids on the ants and carry off their caterpillar livestock — and sometimes the ants themselves — as food. Notably, they're far less anthropomorphized than the ants: while the ant characters are depicted with human mouths and eyes and as standing upright and using their foremost legs as hands, the wasps are portrayed much more realistically with no grasping limbs and with sideways-opening jaws and blank compound eyes, giving them a much more alien and menacing appearance. | |

Mega Man: Mega Man 9 has Hornet Man, a honeycomb-shaped Robot Master with the power to fire hornet drones. He was just a benign flower park manager until he was reprogrammed by Dr. Wily. Mega Man X3: Blast Hornet is a hornet robot who's one of the bosses. He used to be a good guy — part of the Maverick Hunters, in fact — but he gets infected by the Maverick Virus, does a Face–Heel Turn and goes on a rampage. |

The Raven Cycle: Bees and wasps are portrayed very negatively as Gansey is highly allergic. The villain of the final book is even a demon that looks like a giant wasp. | |

Brightburn. The title character is compared to brood parasites, particularly wasps. | |

The Silence (2019): While the movie's monsters aren't wasps and don't particularly look like them either — they mostly resemble an eyeless cross between a bat and pterosaur — they're explicitly compared to wasps due to their aggressiveness and swarming behavior, and are named "vesps" after vespa, the Spanish word for wasp. | |

Terraria: The Jungle is populated by a swarm of giant Hornets underground that fire their stingers at anybody. Come Hardmode, and even stronger Moss Hornets appear, just as territorial and hostile. | |

Hollow Knight: Aspids are bugs with translucent wings that are commonly found as mooks in Hallownest. While not all aspids specifically resemble wasps, Primal Aspids in particular have an elongated abdomen ending in a stinger shape that makes them closely resemble wasps or hornets, and they live up to these animals' heinous reputation by being one of the most reviled enemies in the game. They fire a spread of three acid bolts that can be hard to dodge, often come in groups, and try to keep their distance from the Knight, which can make it obnoxiously difficult to corner them depending on the layout of the room. | |

The Fairy Rebel: The wicked fairy queen commands wasps and will sometimes imprison fairies who defy her inside wasps' nests, which is more or less a death sentence. Bees are stated to be reasonable creatures, since if they sting a fairy, they'll die as well. But wasps will sometimes sting fairies for the fun of it, just because they can. | |

Transformers: In Beast Wars, Waspinator is one of the evil Predacons, a group made of Transformers based on traditionally "evil" or unpleasant animals such as a scorpion, two spiders, a Terror-dactyl and a Terrifying Tyrannosaur. He's the least scary amongst them. However, the same cannot be said of his Transformers: Animated counterpart, who is much bigger and scarier — not to mention completely insane. | |
