Gifkrag

Steke

Gif kom deur 'n angel uit.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

The sting is extremely painful. On the Schmidt sting pain index it scores the highest possible rating, the same as the bullet ant. On the Starr sting pain scale it also scores the maximum 4 out of 4, a rating shared by very few other species.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: Ernstig'n Steek moet deur 'n dokter gesien word. Sterftes is baie skaars.

A sting from this wasp is rated as traumatically painful, and such stings often need some medical attention.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When disturbed, many workers leave the nest to display or sting. They raise their abdomen upright in a behaviour called gaster-flagging, and they drum the nest walls to sound an alarm.1

As dit steek

Because the sting is often traumatically painful, medical attention may be needed.1
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

die moeite werd om te weet

Feite

Its sting ranks as high as the bullet ant's on the Schmidt sting pain index, which is the top rating.1

Army ants regularly prey on these wasps, and the wasps have been seen piling their bodies against the nest entrance to defend against them.1

Montezuma oropendola birds often nest in trees where these wasps are present, because the wasps' stings help keep predators and parasites away.1

When moving to a new nest, the wasps rub glands on their abdomen to lay a chemical trail that the colony can follow.1

A colony can have more than one queen at a time, and the number of queens often changes.1
