In Wrath, with the Beast Mastery tree, Silithids became Tameable. It would be bizarre, if these Azeroth Wasps are actually Silithid, and Blizzard said they were not tameable a second time in another pet class that is now also Tameable in Wrath. Mind you Petopia, the hunter pet website, says they are indeed “Wasps”, in fact funnily enough, the only Wasps in the game by their standards, but even so, if they are Silithid, then shouldn’t they be classified as Exotic pets like the Hive’Zora, Hive’Zara, and Ahn’Qiraj Silithid, most of which are absolutely tameable.
From what I’ve read, Blizzard never categorised the Azeroth wasps as anything, like an oversight, and this is the sole reason they are not in the Tameable Wasp tree. If they were Silithids, it would say, “Silithid”, like the Tameable Soldier Silithids.
Lorewise the Raptors in the Barrens are “intelligent” as well as the Spirit Beasts and Glitch pets people have gotten away with.
In TBC Classic, Alliance Paladins got given a Horde seal because it was a retroactive misnomer on the devs part, and they fixed it, adding these Wasps to the wasp table would be no different, it’s not a new thing, they got added in later, and Wasps still are tameable as Fireflies with their Sting toolkit. It’s not like I’m proposing something crazy like a new ability or pet family.
I don’t mean to make it a personal comment, I just find it strange that Blizzard DID make an effort to add in Silithid AND Wasp families in Wrath, they just didn’t make certain models tameable for some programmable reason.
