There are two kinds of wasps: social wasps and solitary wasps. Social wasps are the ones that feed on other insects. These wasps also tend to be attracted to sweet foods and drinks. They often build their nests in trees, bushes, attics, and wall cavities. Some nests are shaped like basketballs.
Social wasps can also be aggressive. They can sting several times. They may attack you if you disturb their nest. This is because they believe their best defense is to attack. They are very territorial. They are attracted to sugary drinks, fruits, and other sweet foods.
Solitary wasps are less aggressive than social wasps. They are less aggressive than hornets. They also have less venom. They only sting when they feel threatened. Most species of wasps can sting repeatedly.
The most painful wasp stings come from the tarantula hawk wasp. This wasp is a very large native wasp. It can build nests in the soil. Females lay eggs on paralyzed cicadas. Males do not have stingers.
Wasps are very smart insects. They can detect movements within six feet of their nest. They also notice patterns in picnics. Their compound eyes are designed to help them pinpoint movement.
Some wasps build nests in attics, ceilings, trees, and other hard to find locations. They are also capable of flying at speeds up to six miles per hour. They are often a nuisance to homeowners during warmer seasons.
