Cicadas, stink bugs, and ESPECIALLY bees are not summertime pests. These are insects that are minding their own business and I’ve always found them to be friendly. Actually, I’ve never had a run-in with a cicada, just heard their... music, and I kinda like it. Stink bugs are cute and friendly, and bees are uber important to the environment and also very cute and friendly so long as you don’t agitate them.
The insects that are trying to eat you or are extremely aggressive with humans are pests, the others are not. Throwing bees in with mosquitoes is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard you say and it’s not even in the politics threads.
