Common wasp
Mga tusokThe common wasp is a yellow and black wasp that lives in colonies. It is found in parts of Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and South America, and it often comes into gardens, orchards and buildings. It matters because it can sting people and damage fruit crops.1

Paano ito makikilala
- Black and yellow warning colours, with yellow bands on the thorax and black dots and rings on the abdomen.1
- Seen from the front, the face has a single black mark on the clypeus, shaped like an anchor or a dagger.1
- Workers measure about 12–17 mm from head to tip of abdomen, while queens are about 20 mm long.1
- Its paper nest is brittle and tan coloured, with open cells and a column attaching it to the surface.1
Madalas mapagkamalang: The common wasp looks very similar to Vespula germanica, the German wasp. Seen head on, the German wasp has three black dots on its face, while the common wasp has only one black mark. Males of the two species are almost impossible to tell apart by eye and need the shape of their genitalia to identify them.1

Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?
Panganib sa tao: MasakitTalagang masakit, pero halos hindi kailanman malala.The common wasp frequently damages fruit crops and can endanger humans.1
Kung tumusok ito
- Kayurin palabas ang naiwang pantusok ng bubuyog at palamigin ang lugar.
- Kung nahihirapang huminga ang tao, namamaga ang mukha o lalamunan, o parang hihimatayin, ito ay emergency sa allergy: tawagan ang numero pang-emergency at gamitin ang adrenaline pen niya kung mayroon siya.
Laging tawagan muna ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911). Ito ay pangkalahatang gabay sa pangunang lunas, hindi payong medikal. Mga batayan ng pangunang lunas
Mag-ingat
- Huwag kailanman hawakan, hulihin o asarin ang ligaw na hayop, kahit maliit, at kahit mukha itong tulog o patay.
- Bigyan ito ng espasyo. Kung makasalubong ka ng isa, manatiling kalmado, dahan-dahang umatras at hayaan itong umalis.
- Kung tusukin ka ng isa: manatiling kalmado, huwag gumalaw, tawagan ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911) o pumunta agad sa ospital. Tandaan ang itsura nito, makakatulong ang litrato.
Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ginagamit nito ang kamandag para manghuli ng pagkain o ipagtanggol ang sarili, at mas gusto pa nitong magtago. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat

Mga fact
The nest has a chemical that repels ants, which is spread around the base of the nest column to stop ants attacking it.1
Workers use their wings as fans to cool the nest when it gets too hot, as its best temperature is around 32 °C.1
A new queen searches for a nest site and performs a dance-like wing movement that helps her find the spot again after she has left.1
The wasps mark the path from their nest to their food with pheromone trails, which are specific to the species rather than to each colony.1
The queen dies in autumn, and once she is gone the colony breaks down and the workers die of cold or starvation.1
Myth buster
Mito: Common wasps found in North America are the same species as the common wasp of Europe.
Totoo: Until 2010 they were thought to be the same, but the North American ones are a different species, Vespula alascensis.1
