Identification
Wasps are social and live in colonies with a queen who lays the eggs and workers who take care of the nests, food and defense of the colony. Some species of wasps are solitary and live alone.
Wasps have elongated bodies and membranous wings. They are generally larger than bees and can have various colors, ranging from black and yellow to striped patterns. Some species of wasps have a stinger to defend themselves and sting their prey.
The wasp life cycle begins with the oviposition of the queen. The eggs hatch into larvae which are fed by the workers until they pupate. Then the nymphs turn into adult wasps and join the colony. The queen usually lives for several years, while the workers and males die at the end of the season.
Wasps can live in many types of habitats, from forests to urbanized areas. Some species build paper nests in trees, under roofs or in natural cavities. Other species dig nests in the ground.
Wasps can be identified by their elongated bodies and membranous wings. Some species can be distinguished by their color or striped pattern. It is important to watch out for the presence of stinging stingers, as some species of wasps can sting if they feel threatened.
