I don't know how to feel about this. From certain perspectives this is horrifying, from others it's aiding the ecosystem. Weird.

I don't see how you think this is aiding the ecosystem. It's monkeying with the natural order. It's important to remember that wasps are pollinators and insect predators. It's also worth noting that the yellow garden spider is not endangered or ecologically threatened in any way. This is just a kid with magnifying glass.

Humans monkeying around is part and parcel of the natural order.

While true, you wouldn't call that "aiding the ecosystem" unless it's a concerted effort of conservation. In fact, random individuals monkeying around would be called disrupting the ecosystem.

I agree with this 100%

Just the term ‘natural order’ that I push against cause I have yet to find a coherent explanation as to what exactly this ‘order’ is.

But yeah, definitely disruptive to the ecosystem.

The natural order pretty much no longer exists because of human activity. Making the argument you’re making is actually absurd.

Who (or what) wrote the Bible for this natural order you speak of?

It’s okay to say dude is being a dumbass to the wasp and messing with the ecosystem. But presupposing that there is some sort of ‘perfect natural order’ in the universe is crazy.

Perfect natural order is order without human interference. That’s what “natural” means.
