A wasp's nest is a complex structure that is a specialized nursery for all aerial-nest-building wasp species. These nests are easily identifiable - most of us have seen one at one time or another hanging from the outside of your home or on a tree. While these structures may look relatively simple, we can take a closer look inside to understand the different parts of the nest and how they help wasps raise a new generation of young.

@themurrrr 3 года назад

@@Hellamoody They sure as hell tried! But honestly: I got very lucky. No stings to the face. And only my left hand, where they stung be good at least three times on my index finger.... yeah, that was swollen, sore and especially stiff for a few days. So my conclusion is: grouped stings suck ass. All the other stings were not that bad. Some clearly had no venom and so those did not hurt at all. Wasps can sting endlessly, but they have a limit to how much venom they have at that moment. So if they keep stinging like around after the 4 th sting they will have no more venom. And not all the stings with venom will have the a lot of venom. So yeah...

@geekdivaherself 3 года назад

The Hornet King, who made a post elsewhere in this comments section, actually transports some of the hornet nests he takes down to his house and put some up because they destroy other insects he doesn't want! The way he talked about them, they sounded sort of like miniature bats, but then again the stings are more of a threat (not a certainty) than most people want to potentially deal with. He also takes home the nests that he destroys and gives them to his chickens to eat. Interesting channel.

Dirt or Mud Daubers. They make a compartment, paralyze a spider, carry it to the nest & stuff it in the cell, lay an egg on top of it, seal _that_ compartment with what will be the "floor" of the next compartment and REPEAT until she runs out of insects or energy. The eggs hatch & the larvae eat their breakfast over the next few weeks, then they pupate over the winter and gnaw their way out in the spring...

This is so cruel. did you know wasps pollinate figs? without them we wouldnt have these delicious fruits. They also pollinate many types of orchids. And they kill 14 million tons worth of insects in the UK alone. The venom in their sting is believed to have anti cancer properties. These are living creatures just like you, what makes you think you are allowed to take their life for no reason? The belief that they sting for no reason? A belief that isn't really true? I once had a wasp crawl up my nose and it didn't sting me because I knew to just be still. If you did the same you would find them far more manageable.

I've messed around with extinct wasp nests. They are so fascinating to examine. If you have a metal structure you don't want them to build on. Spray the underlying structure with WD40. They can't get the root of their nest to stick because of it. I sprayed a fresh built outdoor car garage with it five years ago, and haven't had a single wasp nest since. (It may need more frequent application in more exposed structures, test on a small area before using to make sure it doesn't react to the paint. Don't use on vinyl siding. Void where prohibited)
