Where Do Wasps Go at Night?

During the day, wasps prey on insects. They can sting to paralyze them. They also lay eggs on caterpillars and spiders. They can build nests in woodpiles, attics, and eaves. They can also nest in holes in walls.

Wasps have a wide range of body sizes and colours. They are part of the order Hymenoptera. Some species are solitary while others are social. They live in colonies and hibernate during winter months. They may attack humans when they feel threatened. Some species are crepuscular feeders and others are active during the day.

Some wasps are parasitic. They lay their eggs on other insects, spiders, or butterfly larvae. They feed on their host until the egg hatches. They then bury their host in a burrow. Other wasps are carnivorous. They feed on insects, including caterpillars, flies, bees, and wasps.

Wasps are social insects. They have colonies where a queen wasp lays eggs in nest cells. The workers take care of the young wasps. In winter, a queen wasp may leave the nest to find an overwintering site. The male and female mate later in the season. The queen is then forced to find a new place to nest.

Hornets are large wasps with large eyes. Some species of hornets fly at night. They are active all day, but others become less active at night. When a hornet is detecting a threat, it will release a chemical into the air. This summons other defenders of the nest.
