Mammoth wasp
The mammoth wasp is the largest wasp found in Europe. It looks a bit like a very big bumble bee, and it lives in warm, dry places around the Mediterranean and across parts of Asia. Its young grow up inside beetle grubs.1

Indlela yokusibona
- Glossy black body covered in fine, downy hair1
- Two yellow bands across the abdomen, sometimes split into four yellow spots1
- Females have a yellow head; males have a black head1
- Females can reach 4.5 cm, and males are smaller than females1
- Looks like a very large, elongated bumble bee1
Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: It is often confused with Scolia hirta. That wasp is smaller and has a black head.1
Amandla obuthi
Ubuthi buphuma ngodosi.
Ubuthi baso benzani?
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: KuncaneNjengokuhlatshwa yinyosi noma ngaphansi. Cishe akunangozi ebantwini.
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?
sifushane kunomunwe wakho omncane
singandiza siwele inkundla yebhola yonke ngemizuzwana engu-8.4Mammoth wasp mkhulu kangakanani uma uqhathanisa NAWE?
Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.
Sishesha kangakanani?
Amaqiniso
It is the largest wasp found in Europe.1
It is a parasitoid: its young develop by feeding on another insect, a beetle grub, which dies in the process.1
Some researchers suggest it was the model for a gold Minoan pendant called the Malia Pendant.1
The European rhinoceros beetle is its main host, but it also lays eggs on the grubs of several other beetles, including the European stag beetle.1

- The female lays a single egg on a paralysed beetle grub. The wasp larva eats the grub, except its skin, then builds a cocoon and emerges as an adult the following spring.1
