Chocolate coating makes them into tasty snacks.

Mine cannot leave bees alone , stupid mutt was sitting at my feet and I could hear a muffled buzzing sound ,that and the stupid look on her face , so I gives the command to "drop it " she opens her mouth and a bee flies out. Funny as hell to watch when she gets stung

Same, we mostly have carpenter bees aka shiny butts. Bumble bees we call fuzzy butts.

When i did my epoxy river table I did multiple clear pours because I had never done epoxy before and I was selling the table for 4k. The clear was half the overall pour but I wanted to do it, watch and learn. 100% clear, no bubbles. Capped with black. I put all my international coins in the clear, customer loved it. Told her only kids and drunks would ever know and both would think it's fun.

Our indoor/outdoor cat loves to play with his wasp friends. I watched him find a wasp nest up inside the back end of the middle square tubing on the front of the boat trailer, start pawing at it, watched his friends come out and play with him, and they all had a great time. Getting stung in the mouth and on a front paw didn't seem to teach him, as I've seen him do it with the wasps harvesting whatever wasps harvest from the holly bushes since.
He's an orange tabby. Most of his one brain cell has been used to give him an amazing personality.
Cicadas are one of his favorite toys, since they make noise when swatted. I've watched this guy snatch one in mid flight 4 feet above ground. It's amazing how finely honed of a flying / crawling / acrobatic hunter house cats can be. We've got copperheads around here every once in a while that slither up across the crop field from the creek, and I watched a neighbor cat tussle with one. The cat's reaction time was so much greater than the snake's striking attempts it was like watching Mohammed Ali against George Burns... in the 1980s.

I had cat once that was tormented by a blue Jay almost daily. The cat would be laying in the yard and the bird would swoop down on him. That all came to end one day. I didn’t see it but the bird was left at the front door. He would often bring rattle snakes home as well. They do have amazing skills. I watched my neighbors cat fall from the railing of the 2nd story porch and sure enough it landed in its feet like nothing ever happened.

We have three orange, we call them the redheads. Two are outdoor cars, the mocking birds like to attack their buttholes as the walk in the yard.
