The Guinea paper wasp is a social wasp that builds small, open nests in colonies of up to about one hundred individuals. It lives in parts of North America, including the eastern United States, Ontario in Canada, and Mexico. Its colonies are often found near buildings and other man-made structures.1

Tuis

Nests are built in well-lit, open sites, often on or near man-made structures. Nests are made of paper-like comb with a single layer of hexagonal cells and no outer paper envelope. They hang downward from one filament. This wasp will also use artificial nests, such as bundles of straws.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Typical form: mostly yellow markings on the back of the thorax and the propodeum (the rear part of the thorax), and wings that are purple-tinged rather than yellow.1
Variable form: red-brown body with dark, almost black, markings on the middle of the antennae, the bases of the abdominal segments and the wings, and pale ivory-white markings spread across the body.1
Antennae banded with red, black and yellow, unlike most paper wasps, which have only one antenna colour.1
Females have forewings of 13.0 to 16.5 mm; males have forewings of 12.0 to 15.0 mm.1
Males have bulging eyes and slender antennae.1

Word dikwels verwar met: The typical form is often confused with Polistes fuscatus, Polistes crinitus and Polistes minor.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

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

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

Queens survive cold better than workers. In one test at 5 °C over 15 days, 76% of queens survived compared with 17% of workers, partly because they build up sugars that act as antifreeze and a layer of body fat.1

When a queen dies, the oldest female worker becomes the new queen, because the colony ranks its members by age.1

Whether a wasp becomes a worker or a queen is set by the temperature it experiences as an immature wasp.1

Nests are small, usually with fewer than one hundred individuals, so the queen is often the most active wasp in the nest and directly controls the nest's activity.1

Out of six wasp species studied, this was the only one that nested in artificial sites.1
