Wasps are crucial pollinators, and predators for millions of other poisonous, venomous, deadly bug and animals (including other wasps). Ecosystem surviving the sudden loss of all wasps is questionable.

My dog. Nobody's gonna miss his awful farts or massive shits.

None. And we’re hurting badly from the ones that have already been removed.

Obviously worms in general are needed, but any big group of mainly parasitic ones I could happily delete without a second thought. Ideally let's also destroy any records of their existence.

I could do without those hammerhead fuckers. They're invasive in our area, eat the regular earthworms, and really hard to kill.

If I had to choose one I’d choose one of the ones that’s already going extinct so I could disrupt as few ecosystems as possible

Alternately, is there an invasive species that harms the ecosystems it invades and doesn’t have a non-invasive counterpart? Maybe domesticated cats?
