The common wasp is a yellow and black wasp that lives in colonies. It is found in parts of Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and South America, and it often comes into gardens, orchards and buildings. It matters because it can sting people and damage fruit crops.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Black and yellow warning colours, with yellow bands on the thorax and black dots and rings on the abdomen.1
Seen from the front, the face has a single black mark on the clypeus, shaped like an anchor or a dagger.1
Workers measure about 12–17 mm from head to tip of abdomen, while queens are about 20 mm long.1
Its paper nest is brittle and tan coloured, with open cells and a column attaching it to the surface.1

Word dikwels verwar met: The common wasp looks very similar to Vespula germanica, the German wasp. Seen head on, the German wasp has three black dots on its face, while the common wasp has only one black mark. Males of the two species are almost impossible to tell apart by eye and need the shape of their genitalia to identify them.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: PynlikDit kan regtig seermaak, maar dit is amper nooit ernstig nie.

The common wasp frequently damages fruit crops and can endanger humans.1

As dit steek

Skraap 'n byangel uit en koel die plek af.
As die persoon sukkel om asem te haal, die gesig of keel swel, of hy voel flou, is dit 'n allergiese noodgeval: bel jou noodnommer en gebruik sy adrenalienpen (outo-inspuiter) as hy een het.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou steek: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

The nest has a chemical that repels ants, which is spread around the base of the nest column to stop ants attacking it.1

Workers use their wings as fans to cool the nest when it gets too hot, as its best temperature is around 32 °C.1

A new queen searches for a nest site and performs a dance-like wing movement that helps her find the spot again after she has left.1

The wasps mark the path from their nest to their food with pheromone trails, which are specific to the species rather than to each colony.1

The queen dies in autumn, and once she is gone the colony breaks down and the workers die of cold or starvation.1

Mite-breker

Mite: Common wasps found in North America are the same species as the common wasp of Europe.

Waarheid: Until 2010 they were thought to be the same, but the North American ones are a different species, Vespula alascensis.1
