Mammoth wasp
The mammoth wasp is the largest wasp found in Europe. It looks a bit like a very big bumble bee, and it lives in warm, dry places around the Mediterranean and across parts of Asia. Its young grow up inside beetle grubs.1

Uko wayimenya
- Glossy black body covered in fine, downy hair1
- Two yellow bands across the abdomen, sometimes split into four yellow spots1
- Females have a yellow head; males have a black head1
- Females can reach 4.5 cm, and males are smaller than females1
- Looks like a very large, elongated bumble bee1
Ikunze kwitiranywa na: It is often confused with Scolia hirta. That wasp is smaller and has a black head.1
Imbaraga z'ubumara
Ubumara busohokera mu rubori.
Ubumara bwayo bukora iki?
The female stings the beetle grub to paralyse it, so it cannot move. Its venom is used on prey, not as a defence for people. The sting paralyses the beetle grub so the wasp's larva can feed on it.1
Iteje akaga kangana iki ku bantu?
Akaga ku bantu: YorohejeNko guterwa urubori n'uruyuki cyangwa munsi yaho. Mu by'ukuri ntacyo itwaye abantu.
Niba itera urubori
- Kuramo urubori rw'uruyuki uruharura, kandi ukonjeshe aho rwateye.
- Niba umuntu ahumeka bimugoye, akabyimba mu maso cyangwa mu muhogo, cyangwa akumva agiye guta ubwenge, ni ikibazo cyihutirwa cya aleriji: hamagara nimero y'ubutabazi kandi ukoreshe urushinge rwe rwa adrenaline (adrenaline pen) niba arufite.
Buri gihe banza uhamagare nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911). Izi ni inama rusange z'ubutabazi bw'ibanze, si inama za muganga. Ibanze by'ubutabazi bw'ibanze
Irinde akaga
- Ntuzigere ukora, ufata cyangwa ushotora inyamaswa yo mu gasozi, nubwo yaba ntoya, kandi nubwo yasa n'isinziriye cyangwa yapfuye.
- Yihe umwanya. Niba uhuye n'imwe, tuza, usubire inyuma buhoro buhoro kandi uyireke yigendere.
- Niba imwe igutereye urubori: tuza, ntunyeganyege, hamagara nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911) cyangwa ujye ku bitaro vuba. Ibuka uko yasaga, ifoto irafasha.
Ntigushakisha ngo ikugirire nabi. Ikoresha ubumara bwayo kugira ngo ifate ibyo kurya cyangwa yirinde, kandi ikunda cyane kwihisha. Ibindi ku kwirinda

Ibintu by'ukuri
It is the largest wasp found in Europe.1
It is a parasitoid: its young develop by feeding on another insect, a beetle grub, which dies in the process.1
Some researchers suggest it was the model for a gold Minoan pendant called the Malia Pendant.1
The European rhinoceros beetle is its main host, but it also lays eggs on the grubs of several other beetles, including the European stag beetle.1
