Dark paper wasp
UkuhlabaThe dark paper wasp is a social wasp that lives across eastern North America, from southern Canada to Texas and Florida. It often builds its papery nest near people, especially where wood is easy to find. Only the females can sting, and they live in colonies with a clear pecking order.1

Indlela yokusibona
- Slender body with a narrow waist between the chest and the abdomen1
- About 15 to 21 mm long1
- Northern females are mostly black all over, and may or may not have other markings1
- Southern individuals often have yellow or brown and black markings on the face and abdomen, and the patterns vary a lot1
- Males have darkened tips to their antennae1
Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: Southern individuals often have extra markings and can resemble wasps of other species. Northern females are usually almost entirely black, which can help tell them apart.1
Amandla obuthi
Ubuthi buphuma ngodosi.
Ubuthi baso benzani?
Only the female has a venomous sting. The pain is commonly compared to being pricked with a large needle, such as a tattoo needle.1
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKungaba buhlungu ngempela, kodwa cishe akukaze kube kubi kakhulu.Senzani uma sesabile?
Colony members defend the nest together, and the foundress is the most aggressive defender because she has the most invested in the colony.1
Uma sihlaba
- Khipha udosi lwenyosi ngokulukhuhla bese upholisa indawo.
- Uma umuntu ephefumula kanzima, ebuso noma emphinjeni kuvuvukala, noma ezizwa ezoquleka, lesi yisimo esiphuthumayo se-allergy: shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo futhi usebenzise ipeni lakhe le-adrenaline uma enalo.
Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala
Hlala uphephile
- Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
- Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
- Uma sikuhlaba: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.
Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile
Sikhulu kangakanani?
Side kangakanani?
side cishe njengesibophi sephepha
singandiza siwele inkundla yebhola yonke ngemizuzwana engu-15Dark paper wasp mkhulu kangakanani uma uqhathanisa NAWE?
Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.
Sishesha kangakanani?
Amaqiniso
Non-resident wasps are often chased out of the nest within the first five minutes of entering it.1
Dominance in the colony depends on fertility, and wasps with larger or more developed ovaries usually rank higher.1
Another wasp species, Polistes dominula, has been displacing this species in many areas where it once dominated.1
A colony can contain well over 200 wasps.1
