They usually are if you don’t start flailing your arms. I usually feed them when they approach me while I’m eating. They don’t even have brains but they can still gauge someone’s threat level.
Yep. They have sharp enough pattern matching to remember human faces. They register eyeballs = threats. Don’t stare and spaz out while doing so. If you make yourself a threat, gonna have a bad time.
Had a nest over my door last summer. They never bothered me or my pig. We ignored them, they ignored us.
Sometimes we get these cute little things and I pick them up and let them hang around, but some people get freaked out by them and demand I get them out of the room. The ones that I think are more likely to sting humans, I’ll just catch and release outside.

We used to get cicada killers. They don’t bother humans, but it still looks like an aggressive 2-inch long missile set on your destruction.
