Wasps (including paper wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets) These insects are all in the Hymenoptera order, and thus stings from them are occasionally called Hymenoptera stings. Because many of these species live in colonies, if one stings you, you may be stung by many. Although most stings cause only minor medical problems, some stings may cause serious medical problems and even death. An ordinary uncomplicated sting can be treated with ammonia or alcohol or cold poultices, followed by an antihistamine ointment. If the victim becomes pale and feels unwell with giddiness and nausea it is advisable to seek medical advice immediately

Life Cycle Of Wasp |
||
|
|
||
The over wintering fertilized queen wasp
emerges from hibernation in early April and searches for a suitable
undisturbed site for her colony. The first brood of wasp eggs laid
(sterile female workers) then take over the task of enlarging the nest and
providing food to sustain it. The process of egg laying will continue
until late summer when the queen will lay eggs to produce males and new
queens. These will mate and the fertilized queens will fly away to select
a suitable site to hibernate.
