They're U-social parasitoids; one reproducing female, one fertile male, and a large number of sterile male workers. They infest human areas and manipulate them into protecting their nests. Gargamel tried to inhibit their spread by introducing a sterile female to this colony after an unknown event caused their breeding female to disappear. Likely the colony would have raided another colony for its female if they had located one, making Gargamel's intervention necessary to prevent them looking for a fertile replacement queen.

I looked it up and she was added in 1966 - Smurfette is a boomer. Incidentally I learned that they retconned in female smurfs starting in 2008. Also, here's my disgustingly necessary condemnation of rule 34.
This means that Gargamel was heroically working to contain the infestation and researching a cure.

You mean gold leaf and spray paint?
That's the least problematic result. "We all love meaty food and we know you don't so we didn't invite you to the Delicious Meat Showcase.'
All these folks buying gold and my apocalypse plan just involves a handle of whiskey and one bullet.
It seems to leave out autocratic leaders of countries with equivalent wealth and greater power, such as Prince Bonesaw and Vlad Putler.
Starbucks: stop lingering! I'm and out, let's go!

Typical conservative mindset. It's not a problem unless it's specifically their problem.
Gen-X here. The reason they're giving you that advice is because that used to actually work. If you wanted a job, for instance, you needed to comb through newspapers or physically go around and look for places that were hiring. It wasn't uncommon for ads to to say "apply in person." Without the Internet making applying for a job almost trivially easy compared to how it used to be, going through the extra effort of showing up dressed professionally was a way to show that you were serious and willing to put in real effort.
The Boomers and Gen-Xers telling you to do the same aren't living in the same decade as the rest of us, mostly because the Internet wasn't pervasive in the time they were looking for jobs. Back in the 90s the Internet was kinda a novelty that you had to go looking for. It wasn't, IMO, until smart phones came along that being online REALLY took off, though arguably iMac computers really pushed the "tech is trendy" idea out there.
Insects have hair that serves several purposes, and birds can have feathers that resemble hair. Also there are mammals that lay eggs so there's that too.
