Did You Know That Wasps Do Not Have Furry Legs?
WouterUnlike bees, which have long, hairy legs, wasps have very little hair on their bodies. Instead, they have thin, smooth bodies and legs that are covered with tiny bristles. These hairs are so small that they are impossible to see with the naked eye.
While wasps are similar to bees in that they are both members of the Hymenoptera order, they are entirely different animals. Wasps are predatory, and they prey on other insects. They also gather pollen. Wasps are known to be quite aggressive, and they will sting people who come too close to their nest.
The sting of a wasp is painful and can kill humans. Depending on the species of wasp, they can sting several times. While most wasps are docile and do not attack humans, some species are extremely aggressive.
Wasps come in two types: solitary and social. Social wasps sting and paralyze insects to feed the larvae. Solitary wasps lay eggs in other insects’ bodies. These eggs are then consumed by the larvae.
There are more than 30,000 different species of wasps. These different species vary in size, color, and shape. Some of them have long, hairy legs, and others have short, smooth hairs. Unlike bees, they do not need furry legs to carry pollen.
Wasps are members of the Vespidae family. They are often confused with bees. Bees are also members of the Hymenoptera order, and they are also quite aggressive. While bees are usually docile, they can attack humans if they feel threatened.
