If we killed all the wasp, what would the world do?
The last sunny days have a lot of wasp in them.They seem to be ubiquitous this year.
They are not aggressive on purpose.They are not really aggressive.They're on a desperate search for food after being forced out of their nest.They are looking for dinner when they are in your personal space.
Killing a wasp doesn't help.A dying wasp emits a chemical that tells other wasps to look out.The more bellicose the rest become, the more you swat.
Calvin Jones of Ireland's Wildlife says that they don't notice wasp throughout most of their life cycle.They can be a bit of a nuisance during this time of year.
When the weather cools in autumn, most of the wasp population die, but they don't really come out to die.They come out to eat.
This is the beginning of the end for wasp colonies.Queens are no longer laying eggs.

Jones says that they are more likely to use their sting as a means of defence.When people are swatted at, they react aggressively to defend themselves.
There are many species of wasp.The wasp's wingspan is five inches.
Calvin Jones says that wasp sting are only an issue for a small minority of people who have a severe allergic response.
The rest of the colony will be warned if you kill one.A dying wasp will let others know it's time to defend.
Don't move suddenly or do anything that could be construed as threatening."Wasps leave their own accord when they realize there's nothing to eat," says Jones.
