The western yellowjacket is a social wasp with a yellow and black body. It lives across the western half of North America and has spread to the Hawaiian Islands, where it is considered a major pest. Its colonies can grow very large in places without cold winters.1

Sidlani?
Workers hunt insects and scavenge dead animals for meat, and feed on plant nectar for sugars. They chew prey into pieces, usually removing the head first from large insects, and in Hawaii they also raid honey bee colonies.1

Indlela yokusibona

  • Yellow and black pattern, typical of social wasps in the genus Vespula1
  • Most females have a continuous yellow ring around each eye, known as an eye-loop1
  • A diamond-shaped black mark on the first tergum (the upper plate of the abdomen)1
  • Nests are made of wood fibres and enclosed in a paper envelope, with an entrance tunnel of 10 to 30 cm at the bottom1

Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: It is often misidentified as V. germanica, which has a similar diamond-shaped black mark. The continuous yellow eye-loop around each eye usually tells the western yellowjacket apart, though males often lack it.1

Ukuhlaba

Ubuthi buphuma ngodosi.

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKungaba buhlungu ngempela, kodwa cishe akukaze kube kubi kakhulu.

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

Amaqiniso

1

Workers settle dominance within the nest by mauling, where one wasp chews on another that stays still.1

2

In Hawaii, the western yellowjacket has become so invasive that it is labelled a major pest.1

3

The nest is kept cleaner than those of many other social wasps, with waste, prey remains and dead larvae removed.1

4

Only the inseminated queen survives the winter, entering diapause (a resting state) until spring.1

5

Most foraging happens close to the nest, usually within about 335 metres, though some trips reach about 550 metres.1

6

Cold weather limits the number of western yellowjackets, but in places without cold winters their population can grow very quickly.1
