Wasps, also known as hornets, are social creatures like bees. They range from medium to large in size, with mostly smooth bodies marked by colorful patterns. With powerful, chewing mouthparts, they are incredibly fierce and brutal. They are part of the greater family of bees, but they fall into the predatory category.
A bee is typically one to three centimeters long, whereas a wasp is several times larger.
Bees generally don't attack people unprovoked and are relatively docile, but wasps are a completely different story.
They are ferocious and completely unreasonable. It doesn't matter if you provoke them or not; they will attack you. Your only hope is to stay out of their sight. Of course, if one ignores you, you should count yourself lucky.
However, wasps can be considered beneficial insects, as they prey on certain agricultural pests, making them a well-known natural predator.
