Red paper wasp
The red paper wasp is a social wasp that builds papery nests from chewed plant fibres and saliva. It lives across much of the Neotropical region, from southern Arizona down to Argentina. Its colonies share work between many females, which makes it a useful example for scientists studying how social animals organise themselves.1

Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?
Panganib sa tao: MasakitTalagang masakit, pero halos hindi kailanman malala.
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
A single queen dominates the other females, sometimes using physical attacks that can turn into fatal battles.1
Colonies build many combs, often around 38 in total, and move brood into new combs as old ones are abandoned. This is thought to protect the colony from moth infestations.1
Male wasps follow two mating tactics: some defend territories, while smaller males patrol from tree to tree and sneak matings when they can.1
Around 56% of females drift to nearby nests, which helps protect the colony against predators. An egg has a 40% chance of being eaten by a predator before it reaches adulthood.1
Colonies are founded or abandoned at any time of year, so their development is not tied to the seasons.1
Myth buster
Mito: The species name canadensis shows that this wasp lives in Canada.
Totoo: Linnaeus was misinformed about where his specimen came from. In North America, this wasp only reaches as far north as southern Arizona.1
