To defend against predatory wasps, honeybees create a defense wave known as shimmering. Participating honeybees need to respond with perfect timing when it’s their turn to shimmer. The strength and intensity of the bees’ shimmering is based on the predators flight speed and proximity. Wasps rarely come closer than 50 centimeters from the hive when shimmering is in action. It’s unclear why wasps are intimidated by shimmering, but researches believe they are just confused on how to attack. . Vid:

Wasps are predatory insects related to bees and ants. They belong to the same order (Hymenoptera), but unlike honeybees, they don’t collect nectar to make honey — they’re mainly hunters and scavengers. Wasps build papery nests made by chewing wood fibres mixed with saliva. • These nests can hang under roofs, in trees, sheds, or underground. • Inside are hexagonal cells (like bees), but made of paper-like material, not wax. Adults eat sugary foods (fruit, nectar, drinks). • Larvae eat protein — s

Wasp jabs predatory frog with its go-nads! Describing your junk as a weapon is a pretty undesirable trait in humans, but for wasps, it could be a lifesaving adaptation. New research has found that the mason wasp got pretty creative when it cooked up its genital structures, evolving to possess spiky bits that double up as a defense mechanism against predators like frogs.

Explaining Insects 🦋 on Instagram: "Asian hornets are large predatory wasps native to parts of Asia and are best known for their aggressive hunting of honeybees. They often hover near hives, catching bees mid-air to feed on the thorax, which is rich in protein. This behavior can severely weaken or even destroy entire colonies. They are highly adaptable, fast flyers, and build large paper nests high in trees or buildings. Because they have few natural predators in regions where they’ve spread, A
