Spare for no reason: Drunken German wasps attack locals

These yellow -leafes, which can cause dangerous allergic reactions, are actively looking for sweet foods and alcohol. About it writes Tabloid Daily Star. Experts explain that the wasps become aggressive due to sharp warming and the lack of "sweet" larvae, which they fed before the onset of heat. Chris Davis, Cleankill Pest Control Technical Manager, explained: "Wasps feed larvae and receive a sweet reward from them.

But when the larvae stop needing food, the wasps begin to actively look for sugar sources that leads them to aggression. " These insects, known under the Latin name Vespula Germanica, normally receive a sweet liquid called chitin as a reward for collecting food for the Queen. But with the onset of the heat and the end of the egg laying of the eggs by the queens, the wasps lose this source and begin to attack everything that contains sugar - from fruits to drinks and sweet snacks.

Particularly dangerous are drunk wasps that drank the more juice. According to Davis, in this state they become "very bold" and more often regret people. Paul Bates from the same company added that drunken wasps can be distinguished by three black spots on the muzzle, and stressed that their bites are especially painful. "When working wasps complete their main work and cease to feed the larvae, they go hunting for entertainment and sweets," Bates warns.

This makes them especially dangerous: drunk and aggressive, they can sting for no reason. The average aspen nest can contain up to 10,000 individuals, and in some cases - up to half a million. In the UK, there are now hundreds of millions of German wasps, while the population of ordinary OS is about 240 billion. A resident of Wtford Richard Potter shared his experience with the aggressive wasp last summer: "I was stingled by the wasp four times when I was mowing a lawn.
