Buzz Off! Navigating the World of Stinging Insects
Hello, summer enthusiasts! 🌞 As we gear up for those delightful BBQ parties and delightful hours in our gardens, let’s not forget about those winged “friends” who sometimes join the party uninvited. I’m talking about our flying foes: Wasps, Hornets, and Yellow-Jackets.
Meet the Stingers
Before jumping into our safety gear, let’s get to know these critters better. Trust me, it’s helpful (and not just trivia for your next BBQ!).
Paper Wasps
Ever seen those papery nests hanging under eaves or in your mailbox? Say hello to Paper Wasps. They’re the ones our dear customers often report, and honestly, they’re hard to miss. They:
– Build those characteristic open paper nests, which can vary in size.
– Feast not just on nectar but also on other insects.
– Have a no-holds-barred attitude and aren’t shy about chasing you down.
Bald-Faced Hornets
Recognizable by their majestic black bodies and contrasting white faces, these are the rulers of the insect kingdom.
– Construct large aerial nests, usually attached to trees, but homes aren’t off-limits.
– Have a varied diet of other insects, pollen, and proteins similar to Yellow-Jackets.
– Their nests? All are enclosed with a single gateway in and out.
Yellow-Jackets
With their striking black and yellow stripes, they are a robust bunch.
– Prefer making homes in protected spots – think hollow trees or old rodent burrows.
– Their nests are seasonal wonders. Every year? A brand-new abode, thanks to the queen.
– Beware! They’re feisty and not scared to throw a sting or two (or more).
