The bald-faced hornet is a wasp with a striking black and white body and a white face. It builds large, hanging paper nests in trees and bushes across North America. Its workers will defend the nest by stinging repeatedly, so it is important to keep well away from its nests.1

It lives in forested areas and in vegetation in towns and cities. Nests are usually in trees and bushes, but sometimes under rock overhangs or on the sides of buildings, from 0.3 m to 20 m above the ground. People meet it when they walk too close to a nest or when a nest is built near homes.1

Nola ezagutu

  • Black and white colouring, unlike other yellowjackets of its genus, which are mostly black and yellow1
  • A white or "bald" face1
  • Three white stripes at the end of the body1
  • Adults average about 19 mm long, larger than other Dolichovespula species1
  • A large, egg-shaped, grey paper nest that hangs from trees or bushes, up to 58 cm long1

Askotan honekin nahasten da: Other Dolichovespula wasps are mostly black and yellow. The bald-faced hornet's black and white colouring and white face set it apart. It is not one of the true hornets, which belong to the genus Vespa.1

Pozoi-ahalmena

It is aggressive when defending its nest. Workers sting repeatedly, and colonies can have 400 to 700 workers. The risk is highest when people walk too close to a nest or when a nest is built near homes.1

Workers defend the nest by stinging repeatedly and can squirt venom into the eyes of intruders.1

Ziztatzen badu

  • Atera erlearen eztena karrakatuz eta hoztu lekua.
  • Pertsonak arnasa hartzeko zailtasunak baditu, aurpegia edo eztarria hanpatuta baditu, edo zorabiatzen ari dela sentitzen badu, larrialdi alergikoa da: deitu zure larrialdi-zenbakira eta erabili bere adrenalina-autoinjektagailua, baldin badu.

Deitu beti lehenik zure larrialdi-zenbakira (112, 000, 911). Lehen sorospenei buruzko orientabide orokorra da hau, ez mediku-aholkua. Lehen sorospenen oinarriak

Egon seguru

  • Ez ukitu, ez harrapatu eta ez zirikatu inoiz animalia basati bat, txikia izan arren, eta lo edo hilda dagoela badirudi ere.
  • Utzi tartea. Bat aurkitzen baduzu, egon lasai, egin atzera poliki eta utzi bere bidetik joaten.
  • Batek ziztatzen bazaitu: egon lasai, egon geldi, deitu zure larrialdi-zenbakira (112, 000, 911) edo joan ospitalera azkar. Gogoratu nolakoa zen, argazki batek laguntzen du.

Ez dabil zure atzetik. Pozoia janaria harrapatzeko edo bere burua babesteko erabiltzen du, eta askoz nahiago du ezkutatu. Seguru egoteari buruz gehiago
