Is it true that if you run from a wasp it is going to chase you?


Question:
I've heard this myth before so in doing so when I run from a wasp I am super fast but is this myth true or will just standing there while they are around make you an easy wasp target?

Answers:
I don't think it matters if you run or not. I have heard that you should close your mouth, because they are attracted to the smell. This is not an insult. It's actually true.
They're not going to sting you unless they see you as a threat. Just don't bother them. If one is flying near you, just go about your activities as normal or just move a little farther away real quick.
They are as scared as you, as you are of it.

Just walk the other way, and be calm. I'm sure fast movements around it scares it.
Doesn't matter, but if you have on a
scent they like, or if they think you are
the enemy they might sting.
