The European paper wasp is a yellow and black social wasp that builds nests from chewed plant fibre mixed with saliva, which looks like grey paper. It lives in warm, temperate parts of Europe, North Africa and Asia, and it has spread to many other continents. It matters because it has become a common invasive species in North America.1

Ano ang kinakain nito?
It eats many different types of insects, which is more varied than most Polistes wasps, and this gives it an advantage when food is scarce.1

Paano ito makikilala

  • Its body is coloured entirely yellow and black.1
  • The female's mandible (jaw) is black and sometimes has a yellow spot.1
  • The outer half of the antennae (feelers) is orange-yellow.1
  • Wings are about 8.5 to 13 mm long, with little variation between individuals.1
  • Males have curled antennae and no stinger.1

Madalas mapagkamalang: Its yellow and black body is similar to that of Vespula germanica, one of the most common and defensive wasps in its native range. In older literature it was often confused with Polistes gallicus, which is now recognised as a separate species.1

Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?

Panganib sa tao: MasakitTalagang masakit, pero halos hindi kailanman malala.

Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?

Its bright yellow and black colouring is a warning colour, and its nests are built in well-protected places to help it avoid predators.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

1

Its colonies can include many unrelated wasps: about 35% of the wasps in a colony are unrelated, which is unusual for social insects.1

2

Males' abdominal spots vary in size, location and pattern, and they signal social rank within the colony.1

3

If the queen is removed from a nest, the second most dominant female takes over her role.1

4

In spring, some North American colonies have been seen with more than 80 wasps joining to reuse and expand an old nest.1

5

The first North American record was in Massachusetts in the late 1970s, and it had spread across the northeastern USA by 1995.1

Myth buster

Mito: The species name is sometimes spelled "dominulus", as authors wrongly assumed the name was an adjective.

Totoo: Dominula is a noun meaning "little mistress", so under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature it does not change when the species moves genus.1
