The Oriental hornet is a large social wasp that lives in colonies of thousands of insects, led by a single queen. It lives in parts of Southwest Asia, Northeast Africa, the Middle East and Southern Europe, and it is one of the main pests of honey bees. Its sting can be very painful.1

Leef in

Southwest Asia, Northeast Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and parts of Southern Europe; also introduced to Chile, Mexico and Madagascar1

Europa, Asië, Afrika

Tuis

Most nests are dug underground. Some paper nests are built in sheltered spaces such as hollow trees, shipping containers, parked vehicles and aircraft. Hornets also raid bee hives for honey and bee larvae.1

Lengte

2,5 cm tot 3,5 cm (1 in tot 1,4 in)1

Topspoed

omtrent 32 km/h (20 mph)

Vlieënd, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

Adults feed on nectar, honeydew and fruit. They hunt insects such as grasshoppers, flies and other hornets, and collect pieces of fresh or spoiled meat and fish to feed their young.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Reddish-brown body1
Thick yellow bands across the abdomen1
Yellow patches on the head between the eyes1
Body 25 to 35 mm long; the queen and drones are larger than workers1
Very strong jaws, and will bite if provoked1

Word dikwels verwar met: It looks similar to the European hornet (Vespa crabro). The Asian giant hornet of East Asia should not be confused with it. Males (drones) have 13 antenna segments, while workers and the queen have 12.1

Gifkrag

Steke

Gif kom deur 'n angel uit.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

The sting is quite painful to people. Some people are allergic to these stings. Tests on the venom showed that it slowed the growth of some Gram-positive bacteria, a group of bacteria, so it may be useful as a medicine.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

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

The sting can be quite painful, and some people are allergic to it.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

Workers defend the colony, and will bite if provoked.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 yellow stripe on its exoskeleton can absorb sunlight and generate a small electrical potential, which may help supply energy for digging.1

A 2024 study found that hornets fed sugary solutions containing up to 80% ethanol for a week showed no harmful effects on behaviour or lifespan. Most animals tolerate only up to 4%.1

It is the primary pest that attacks honey bee colonies in many countries.1

It is the only member of the genus Vespa that lives in desert climates, such as those in North Africa and the Middle East.1

Unlike most wasps, which are most active early in the morning, it is most active in the middle of the day.1

Its sisters are closely related, with each worker on average 75% related to her sisters, so workers help raise the colony's young.1
