The wasp, an insect belonging to the Vespidae family, is known for its role as a pollinator and useful predator, but also for its dreaded stings. Found all over the world, it is easily recognizable by its slender body, often yellow and black, and its defensive behavior around its nests.
Wasps build their nests in trees, under roofs, or in crevices. They feed on nectar and small insects, playing an ecological role in controlling pest populations. However, they become aggressive if they feel threatened.
Wasp stings are painful and can cause serious allergic reactions, such as anaphylactic shock. Their presence near inhabited areas can also cause stress or accidents.
