How to Catch Wasps

A neat trick we found when being chased by wasps is that you can actually get away without being stung. To do so, make sure you have your net handy when shaking trees. When wasps come out and start chasing you, just turn and catch them with the net. While you have your tool ring or menu up, wasps won't attack you.
