Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ukuhlaba

Ityhefu iphuma ngenaliti yokuhlaba.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

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

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KuthambileNjengokuhlatywa yinyosi okanye ngaphantsi. Phantse asinangozi ebantwini.

Ukuba siyahlaba

  • Krwela inaliti yenyosi uyikhuphe uze upholise indawo.
  • Ukuba umntu uphefumla kanzima, ubuso okanye umqala wakhe uyadumba, okanye uziva ngathi uza kufa isiqaqa, yimeko kaxakeka ye-aleji: tsalela inombolo kaxakeka kwaye usebenzise ipeni yakhe ye-adrenaline ukuba unayo.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

  • Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
  • Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
  • Ukuba siyakuhlaba: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile
