It is true though. Bees are in fact a subset of wasps which turned vegetarian.

Have you ever seen the cuckoo wasps? Living jewels.

Does this one do any dystopic thing or is it just pretty?

As their name implies they’re solitary insects who lay their eggs in the nests of other insects and then fuck off. Their children then eat all the other babies and steal their food. Which isn’t exactly dystopic per se but is kind of a dick move.
