I for one really appreciated the OP. Biological metaphors, especially ones grounded in insect behavior (you had me at Sphecidae) are so attractive to me.
At least, up until the final paragraph. Discord (I know, I know, chord /is/ a word, but discord is spelled without an 'h') is something that happens with humans, because while our minds may be largely ordered genetic programing, we do not all have the same programming. Also, minds programmed for hierarchies, which, unless there is a perfect numerical lock in between people and niches, will ALWAYS come into conflict at some level.
There's good reason to believe that social games are what selected for the human mind. Humans, the perfect embodiment of order and disorder, thus chaos.
Also, humans aren't insects.
Just saying.
While I cannot technically disprove this, I'm just going to point out that neither appreciates a blast of RAID in the face.
