Nests are built in both natural and man-made places. In towns and buildings, nests have been found in attics, under eaves, and inside walls or ventilation holes. In the wild, nests are found in hollow trees, underground cavities, on rock walls and inside bushes.1

它吃什么？

Adults take liquids such as tree sap, flower nectar, fruit and discarded candy for carbohydrates. They also hunt insects and spiders for protein, with over 40 species recorded as prey. Solid protein food is mainly brought back for the larvae.1

怎样认出它

The yellow colour form is the one most often seen in Japan.1
The typical mainland colour form is darker and hairier than the yellow form.1
Colonies can be very large, with nests commonly holding 1,000 to over 10,000 cells.1

常被误认为： This hornet should not be confused with the Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia), which has a colour form sometimes called the Japanese giant hornet.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼，但几乎从不严重。

如果它蜇人

刮掉蜜蜂的蜇针，冷敷患处。
如果这个人呼吸困难、脸或喉咙肿胀，或感觉要晕倒，这是过敏急症：拨打急救电话，如果他们有肾上腺素笔就使用。

一定先拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）。这里是一般急救指导，不是医疗建议。急救基础

注意安全

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
如果被它蜇了：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。更多安全知识

值得了解

事实

Asian giant hornets sometimes raid yellow hornet nests, killing workers and carrying the larvae and pupae back to their own nest as food.1

Black hornet queens sometimes attack yellow hornet nests, take them over and use the original workers to raise their own young.1

Colonies are started by one queen, who does every task at first, including laying eggs, hunting and building the nest.1

Nests can be moved to a new site in the middle of the nesting period, which is unusual for Vespa hornets.1

Adult workers live for an average of 12.9 days, and their death rate rises once they start foraging outside the nest.1

谣言粉碎机

谣言： The Japanese yellow hornet is the same as the Asian giant hornet.

真相： The two are different species. The yellow hornet is Vespa simillima, and the Asian giant hornet is Vespa mandarinia.1
