The armadillo wasp is a social wasp with a metallic blue-black body. It builds its nests on tree trunks in tropical South America. It is known for its painful sting, and it also visits flowers and helps pollinate plants.1

Anaishi

Tropical South America: Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Ecuador, Peru and northern Bolivia1

Nyumbani

It lives in wet grassland, scattered shrub areas, sparse shrubs and trees, and gallery forest. In the dry season it builds nests on tree trunks in gallery forest. It is one of the most common social wasps in Central Brazil.1

Hula nini?

Adults visit flowers such as Bauhinia guianensis, which contain nectar, and are likely to feed on it for energy. They carry pollen on their legs and head, and they are most likely to visit flowers in the morning and afternoon.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua

Medium-sized wasp with a blueish-black body1
Body can look metallic in certain light1
Dark, almost black wings1
Head has a projecting vertex (a raised ridge on the top of the head)1
Less dense small markings (punctation) on the first abdominal segment than S. chalibea and S. virginea1

Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: Other Synoeca wasps, especially its sister species S. cyanea and S. septentrionalis, which also have less punctation on the first abdominal segment. S. chalibea and S. virginea have denser punctation on that segment, so this is one way to tell them apart.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Kudungwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia mdungo.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Its sting injects serotonin, a chemical also known as a neurotransmitter. Serotonin is a vasoconstrictor, meaning it narrows blood vessels, which could potentially be lethal to small animals. In people, it causes severe pain.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Its sting is painful. The wasp only stings in defence, not to attack. Stings can leave the wasp's barbed stinger in the skin, and the wasp dies afterwards.1

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

When a colony is threatened, workers perform buzzing runs, shaking from side to side and contacting other members, which warns the colony to swarm. Individual wasps may also sting, and the stinger stays in the victim.1

Akidunga

Kwangua mwiba wa nyuki na upoze mahali hapo.
Mtu akipata shida ya kupumua, uso au koo likivimba, au akijisikia kuzimia, hiyo ni dharura ya mzio: piga namba ya dharura na umtumie kalamu yake ya adrenalini kama anayo.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
Akikudunga: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.

Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli

When the wasp stings, its barbed stinger stays in the victim, and the wasp dies. This is called sting autotomy.1

The sting also releases alarm pheromones, which mark the target as a threat for the colony to deal with if it returns.1

Some older workers, over 21 days old, may eat large larvae and pupae before leaving the nest. This is called brood cannibalism.1

Queens are chosen through ritual dominance displays, in which potential queens face off, sometimes bending their abdomens.1

Colonies swarm together as a group. Scouts lay down scent trails so the other wasps can follow them to a new nest site.1

Scouts release scent from a special gland called the Richards' gland while they drag their body along the trail.1
