    (umbrella wasp)

    Common paper wasps are social insects, who build nests of grey papery material around

    the home often under eaves, pergolas or in vegetation.

    Description

    Polistes humilis or common paper wasps are generally slender with long thin wings.

    They are 10-15 millimetres long, tan in colour with darker bands and some yellow on the

    face.

    Other species of paper wasps are larger or smaller and differently coloured.

    Paper wasps make nests of grey papery wood fibre material.

    The nests are cone-shaped, becoming round as more cells are added.

    Nests are a maximum diameter of 10-12 centimetres, with numerous hexagonal cellsunderneath, some with white caps.

    Nests are exposed and suspended by a short stalk under an overhang, often on a pergola,

    the eaves of a roof or in a shrub or tree.

    Wasps cluster on the nest or forage in the garden and around buildings.

    Paper wasps are found across mainland southern Australia including:

    southern Queensland New South Wales

    the Australian Capital Territory

    Victoria

    South Australia

    southern Western Australia.

    Life history

    Paper wasps are a social wasp consisting of small colonies of 12-20 individuals.

    Adult wasps feed on nectar and make paper nests by mixing saliva and wood fibres.

    Nests are a nursery where larvae are kept one to each cell.

    The larvae are fed on chewed-up caterpillars caught by the adults.

    The cells are then capped and the larvae pupate. Most paper wasps die in autumn or winter,

    while some hibernate to start new nests next season.

    Pest status and management

    Paperwasps have some beneficial value as predators of pest caterpillars, however theyhave a painful sting and will attack any person approaching or disturbing their nest.

    Nests likely to be disturbed represent a hazard and should be avoided during the day.

    Ignore nests where they are high or otherwise out of the way.

    Nests in high traffic areas such as doorways, pergolas or carports can be sprayed from the

    side at night with a registered aerosol wasp insecticide.

    Repeat spray two nights afterwards then remove and destroy the nest. Use a red light (forexample, red cellophane over a torch lens) if light is needed when spraying at night.

    In the event of a sting apply a cold pack.

    Seek medical attention if the victim is known to be allergic or if symptoms become more

    severe.

    Entomology is not currently researchingpaper wasps.

    The term wasp is typically defined as any insect of the order Hymenoptera and suborderApocrita that is neither a bee nor ant[1]. Almost every pest insect species has at least one

    wasp species that preys upon it or parasitizes it, making wasps critically important in

    natural control of their numbers, or natural biocontrol. Parasitic wasps are increasinglyused in agricultural pest control as they prey mostly on pest insects and have little impact

    on crops.

    Taxonomy

    Wasp stinger, with droplet of venom

    The majority ofwasp species (well over 100,000 species) are "parasitic" (technicallyknown as parasitoids), and the ovipositor is used simply to lay eggs, often directly into the

    body of the host. The most familiar wasps belong to Aculeata, a division of Apocrita,

    whose ovipositors are adapted into a venomous sting, though a great many aculeate species

    do not sting. Aculeata also contains ants and bees, and many wasps are commonlymistaken for bees, and vice-versa. In a similar respect, insects called "velvet ants" (the

    family Mutillidae) are technically wasps.

    The suborder Symphyta, known commonly as sawflies, differ from members of Apocrita

    by lacking a sting, and having a broader connection between the mesosoma and metasoma.

    In addition to this, Symphyta larvae are mostly herbivorous and "caterpillarlike", whereasthose of Apocrita are largely predatory or parasitoids.

    A much narrower and simpler but popular definition of the term wasp is any member of theaculeate family Vespidae, which includes (among others) the genera known in North

    America as yellowjackets (Vespula and Dolichovespula) and hornets (Vespa); in many

    countries outside of the Western Hemisphere, the vernacular usage of wasp is even furtherrestricted to apply strictly to yellowjackets (e.g., the "common wasp").

    Categorization

    The various species of wasps fall into one of two main categories: solitary wasps and social

    wasps. Adult solitary wasps generally live and operate alone, and most do not construct

    nests (below); all adult solitary wasps are fertile. By contrast, social wasps exist in colonies

    numbering up to several thousand strong and build nestsbut in some cases not all of the

    colony can reproduce. In the more advanced species, just the wasp queen and male waspscan mate, whilst the majority of the colony is made up of sterile female workers.

    The following characteristics are present in most wasps:

    Characteristics* Two pairs of wings (except wingless or brachypterous forms in all female Mutillidae,

    Bradynobaenidae, many male Agaonidae, many female Ichneumonidae, Braconidae,

    Tiphiidae, Scelionidae, Rhopalosomatidae, Eupelmidae, and various other families).* An ovipositor, or stinger (which is only present in females because it derives from the

    ovipositor, a female sex organ).

    * Few or no thickened hairs (in contrast to bees); except Mutillidae, Bradynobaenidae,

    Scoliidae.

    * Nearly all wasps are terrestrial; only a few specialized parasitic groups are aquatic.* Predators or parasitoids, mostly on other terrestrial insects; most species of Pompilidae

    (e.g. tarantula hawks), specialize in using spiders as prey, and various parasitic wasps usespiders or other arachnids as reproductive hosts.

    Wasps are critically important in natural biocontrol. Almost every pest insect species has atleast one wasp species that is a predator or parasite upon it. Parasitic wasps are also

    increasingly used in agricultural pest control. Wasps also constitute an important part of the

    food chain.

    Anatomy and gender

    Anatomically, there is a great deal of variation between different types of wasp. Like all

    insects, wasps have a hard exoskeleton covering their three main body parts. These parts

    are known as the head, metasoma and mesosoma. Wasps also have a constricted region

    joining the first and second segments of the abdomen (the first segment is part of themesosoma, the second is part of the metasoma) known as the petiole. Like all insects,

    wasps have three sets of two legs. In addition to their compound eyes, wasps also have

    several simple eyes known as ocelli. These are typically arranged in a triangular formationjust forward of an area of the head known as the vertex.

    It is possible to distinguish between certain wasp species genders based on the number of

    divisions on their antennae. Male Yellowjacket wasps for example have 13 divisions perantenna, while females have 12. Males can in some cases be differentiated from females by

    virtue of the fact that the upper region of the male's mesosoma (called the tergum) consists

    of an additional terga. The total number of terga is typically six. The difference betweensterile female worker wasps and queens also varies between species but generally the

    queen is noticeably larger than both males and other females.

  • 8/2/2019 Wasp Removal Service 0423688352 Sydney

    5/52

    Wasps can be differentiated from bees, which have a flattened hind basitarsus. Unlike bees,

    wasps generally lack plumose hairs. They vary in the number and size of hairs they have

    between species.

    Generally wasps are parasites or parasitoids as larvae, and feed only on nectar as adults.

    Many wasps are predatory, using other insects (often paralyzed) as food for their larvae. Afew social wasps are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of fallen fruit, nectar, and carrion.

    Some of these social wasps, such as yellowjackets, may scavenge for dead insects to

    provide for their young. In many social species the larvae provide sweet secretions that arefed to the adults.

    In parasitic species, the first meals are almost always provided by the animal that the adult

    wasp used as a host for its young. Adult male wasps sometimes visit flowers to obtainnectar to feed on in much the same manner as honey bees. Occasionally, some species,

    such as yellowjackets, invade honey bee nests and steal honey and/or brood.[citation

    needed]

    With most species, adult parasitic wasps themselves do not take any nutrients from theirprey, and, much like bees, butterflies, and moths, those that do feed as adults typically

    derive all of their nutrition from nectar. Parasitic wasps are typically parasitoids, and

    extremely diverse in habits, many laying their eggs in inert stages of their host (egg orpupa), or sometimes paralyzing their prey by injecting it with venom through their

    ovipositor. They then insert one or more eggs into the host or deposit them upon the host

    externally. The host remains alive until the parasitoid larvae are mature, usually dying

    either when the parasitoids pupate, or when they emerge as adults.

    The type of nest produced by wasps can depend on the species and location. Many social

    wasps produce paper pulp nests on trees, in attics, holes in the ground or other suchsheltered areas with access to the outdoors. By contrast solitary wasps are generally

    parasitic or predatory and only the latter build nests at all. Unlike honey bees, wasps have

    no wax producing glands. Many instead create a paper-like substance primarily from woodpulp. Wood fibers are gathered locally from weathered wood, softened by chewing and

    mixing with saliva. The pulp is then used to make combs with cells for brood rearing. More

    commonly, nests are simply burrows excavated in a substrate (usually the soil, but also

    plant stems), or, if constructed, they are constructed from mud.

    Solitary wasps

    The nesting habits of solitary wasps are more diverse than those of social wasps. Mud

    daubers and pollen wasps construct mud cells in sheltered places typically on the side of

    walls. Potter wasps similarly build vase-like nests from mud, often with multiple cells,attached to the twigs of trees or against walls. Most other predatory wasps burrow into soil

    or into plant stems, and a few do not build nests at all and prefer naturally occurring

    cavities, such as small holes in wood. A single egg is laid in each cell, which is sealed

    thereafter, so there is no interaction between the larvae and the adults, unlike in social

  • 8/2/2019 Wasp Removal Service 0423688352 Sydney

    6/52

    wasps. In some species, male eggs are selectively placed on smaller prey, leading to males

    being generally smaller than females.

    Social wasps

    The nests of some social wasps, such as hornets, are first constructed by the queen and

    reach about the size of a walnut before sterile female workers take over construction. Thequeen initially starts the nest by making a single layer or canopy and working outwards

    until she reaches the edges of the cavity. Beneath the canopy she constructs a stalk to

    which she can attach several cells; these cells are where the first eggs will be laid. Thequeen then continues to work outwards to the edges of the cavity after which she adds

    another tier. This process is repeated, each time adding a new tier until eventually enough

    female workers have been born and matured to take over construction of the nest leaving

    the queen to focus on reproduction. For this reason, the size of a nest is generally a goodindicator of approximately how many female workers there are in the colony. Social wasp

    colonies often have populations exceeding several thousand female workers and at least

    one queen. Polistes and some related types of paper wasp do not construct their nests in

    tiers but rather in flat single combs.

    Wasps do not reproduce via mating flights like bees. Instead social wasps reproducebetween a fertile queen and male wasp; in some cases queens may be fertilized by the

    sperm of several males. After successfully mating, the male's sperm cells are stored in a

    tightly packed ball inside the queen. The sperm cells are kept stored in a dormant state untilthey are needed the following spring. At a certain time of the year (often around autumn),

    the bulk of the wasp colony dies away, leaving only the young mated queens alive. During

    this time they leave the nest and find a suitable area to hibernate for the winter.

    First stage

    After emerging from hibernation during early summer, the young queens search for a

    suitable nesting site. Upon finding an area for their colony, the queen constructs a basicwood fiber nest roughly the size of a walnut into which she will begin to lay eggs.

    Second stage

    The sperm that was stored earlier and kept dormant over winter is now used to fertilize the

    eggs being laid. The storage of sperm inside the female queen allows her to lay a

    considerable number of fertilized eggs without the need for repeated mating with a male

    wasp. For this reason a single female queen is capable of building an entire colony fromonly herself. The queen initially raises the first several sets of wasp eggs until enough

    sterile female workers exist to maintain the offspring without her assistance. All of the eggs

    produced at this time are sterile female workers who will begin to construct a moreelaborate nest around their queen as they grow in number.

    Third stage

    European paper wasp (Polistes dominula) with a regurgitated droplet of water

    By this time the nest size has expanded considerably and now numbers between several

    hundred and several thousand wasps. Towards the end of the summer, the queen begins to

    run out of stored sperm to fertilize more eggs. These eggs develop into fertile males and

  • 8/2/2019 Wasp Removal Service 0423688352 Sydney

    7/52

    fertile female queens. The male drones then fly out of the nest and find a mate thus

    perpetuating the wasp reproductive cycle. In most species of social wasp the young queens

    mate in the vicinity of their home nest and do not travel like their male counterparts do.The young queens will then leave the colony to hibernate for the winter once the other

    worker wasps and founder queen have started to die off. After successfully mating with a

    young queen, the male drones die off as well. Generally, young queens and drones from thesame nest do not mate with each other; this ensures more genetic variation within wasp

    populations, especially considering that all members of the colony are theoretically the

    direct genetic descendants of the founder queen and a single male drone. In practice,however, colonies can sometimes consist of the offspring of several male drones. Wasp

    queens generally (but not always) create new nests each year, probably because the weak

    construction of most nests render them uninhabitable after the winter.

    Unlike honey bee queens, wasp queens typically live for only one year. Also queen wasps

    do not organize their colony or have any raised status and hierarchical power within the

    social structure. They are more simply the reproductive element of the colony and the

    initial builder of the nest in those species which construct nests.Social wasp caste structure

    A wasp gathering wood fibers

    Not all social wasps have castes that are physically different in size and structure. In many

    polistine paper wasps and stenogastrines, for example, the castes of females are determinedbehaviorally, through dominance interactions, rather than having caste predetermined. All

    female wasps are potentially capable of becoming a colony's queen and this process is often

    determined by which female successfully lays eggs first and begins construction of the

    nest. Evidence suggests that females compete amongst each other by eating the eggs ofother rival females. The queen may, in some cases, simply be the female that can eat the

    largest volume of eggs while ensuring that her own eggs survive (often achieved by laying

    the most). This process theoretically determines the strongest and most reproductivelycapable female and selects her as the queen. Once the first eggs have hatched, the

    subordinate females stop laying eggs and instead forage for the new queen and feed the

    young; that is, the competition largely ends, with the losers becoming workers, though ifthe dominant female dies, a new hierarchy may be established with a former "worker"

    acting as the replacement queen. Polistine nests are considerably smaller than many other

    social wasp nests, typically housing only around 250 wasps, compared to the several

    thousand common with yellowjackets, and stenogastrines have the smallest colonies of all,rarely with more than a dozen wasps in a mature colony.

    Wasps - Hymenoptera

    Wasps are a diverse group of insects. In Australia alone there are over 12,000 species,

    ranging from the tiny diapriid wasps, which are barely visible to the naked eye, to thespider and cicada-killer wasps, capable of taking large prey. Most wasps have carnivorous

    larvae that feed on other insects and spiders. The adults provide food for them by capturing

    prey or by laying the egg on or near the food source, which might be an egg, larva or pupaof another insect.

    Features of wasps:

    * The egg-laying structures (ovipositors) in some wasps are modified into stingers.

    * Adults generally feed on nectar and can pollinate flowers in the process.

    * Some are hyper-parasites, which use other parasitic wasps' larvae or hosts to feed theiryoung.

    * Many wasps can act as biological control agents on crop pests.

    * Most native species are solitary, but a few, such as the paper wasps, form colonies.

    * Fig wasps

    Some native Australian fig trees need fig wasps for successful pollination and thewasps rely on the tree to complete their lifecycle. This relationship has evolved to the point

    where the tree and the wasp are completely dependent on each other.

    * Mud-dauber Wasp

    The Mud-dauber Wasp is one of the more commonly encountered wasps in Sydney.

    * European Wasp

    The European Wasp was first found in Australia in 1959 in Tasmania. By 1978 they

    were also known in Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales and Western Australia,

    and are now firmly established in the Sydney area.

    * Sand wasps

    The sand wasps are closely related to the Mud-dauber Wasp but, unlike their cousins,sand wasps nest in the ground.

    * Braconid wasps

    Braconid wasps are a large family of wasps with over 800 Australian species. They are

    closely related to the ichneumonid wasps and parasitise the larvae of many insect groups in

    a similar way.* Cuckoo wasps

    The cuckoo wasps are a group of 76 species that mostly parasitise other wasps. Like a

    cuckoo bird that manages to get another species to raise its chick, these wasps use another'snest for their own young.

    * Wasps: Suborder Apocrita

    Wasps are a diverse group of insects. In Australia alone there are over 12,000 species,ranging from the tiny diapriid wasps, which are barely visible to the naked eye, to the

    spider wasps and cicada-killer wasps, capable of taking large prey. Most wasps havecarnivorous larvae that feed on other insects and spiders. The adults provide food for them

    by capturing prey or by laying the egg on or near the food source, which might be an egg,

    larva or pupa of another insect.* Cuckoo wasp

    * Diapriid wasps

    If you see a very small fly that, on closer inspection, resembles an ant, it may be a

    diapriid wasp.

    * Hatchet wasps

    The hatchet or flag wasps are a small family of wasps with around 40 species.

    * Spider wasps

    Spider wasps (family Pompilidae) are solitary wasps. They prey on spiders to feed their

    larvae or they parasitise other spider wasps. They do not form colonies to defend nests andare not aggressive.

    * Potter waspsThe potter wasps are closely related to the paper wasps. However, potter wasps do not

    form colonies.

    Flower wasps are large, often metallic, solitary wasps, with species in the Families

    Scoliidae, Tiphiidae and Mutillidae.

    Ichneumonid wasps

    The family Ichneumonidae is one of the largest groups within the hymenopterans(wasps, bees, ants and sawflies), with around 2,000 Australian species.

    * Paper wasps

    Native paper wasps are smaller than European Wasps, and lack their vivid yellowmarkings. They tend to only be aggressive when defending their nests, and are otherwise

    beneficial insects to have around the garden.

    Paper wasps

    Identification

    Paper wasps have a small head, with medium sized eyes and medium length antennae. The

    body is slender, with a very narrow waist. There are two pairs of brown-tinted wings, withthe first pair larger. The abdomen has some yellow/orange bands, but is mainly black.

    Recently, the introduced Asian Paper Wasp (Polistes chinensis) has been reported from

    several inner city suburbs of Sydney. This closely related species is larger than the nativePolistes and tends to have more distinctive yellow and brown bands.

    11/52

    The adult paper wasps catch caterpillars to feed the larvae, but the adults themselves feed

    on nectar.

    Other behaviours and adaptationsThe nest of the paper wasp is a series of cells shaped like an inverted cone made from

    saliva mixed with wood fragments. When it dries the mixture is quite paper-like, and gives

    these wasps their name.

    Life cycle

    Paper wasps form small colonies, and make paper nests under tree branches and the eavesof houses. The nests are shaped like inverted cones, and consist of a cluster of hexagonal

    cells made from wood fibre mixed with saliva. The wasp larvae are maggot-like and

    develop inside the papery cells of the nest.

    Living with usDanger to humans and first aid

    Paper wasps can deliver painful stings, but are not as aggressive as European Wasps. They

    normally only attack humans if their nest is disturbed. If stings are multiple, a more severe

    systemic reaction may occur.In some individuals, wasp, bee and ant stings can cause an allergic reaction (anaphylaxis),

    but this is relatively uncommon. Effective treatment is available, which involves knownbee/ant/wasp sting allergy sufferers carrying a special kit when outdoors. Immunotherapy

    or desensitisation therapy is also available, and can reduce the severity of the allergy.

    Seven deaths over a twenty-year period attributed to wasp stings have been recorded inAustralia, mainly among known allergy sufferers who were not carrying their preventative

    medicine with them.

    A cold pack may be used to relieve the pain of the sting. If there is evidence of a more

    severe reaction or the sting victim is known to be allergic to wasp and bee venom, medicalattention should be sought immediately.

    Ichneumonid wasps

    Identification

    Ichneumonid wasps have long antennae with 16 or more segments, whereas most other

    wasps have 13 or less. Some female ichneumonid wasps have a very long ovipositor (a

    tube-like structure for laying eggs) which is used to reach insect larvae such as wood grubs

    which burrow in bark and wood. This is a modification of the sting that is present in otherwasps, so most ichneumonid wasps cannot sting humans, with the exception of the larger

    orange species in the subfamily Ophioninae. Wasps in the family Ichneumonidae are

    superficially similar to the related family Braconidae, but ichneumonids are usually largerinsects, and differ in details such as the pattern of wing veins and the structure of the

    14/52

    Identification

    Flower wasps are large solitary wasps, often with bright colours or a metallic appearance.

    Adult wasps are nectar feeders. They are often seen moving between flowers in mid- to late

    summer and they play an important role in pollinating native plants.Size range

    2.5 cm - 3.0 cm

    Distribution

    Flower wasps are found throughout Australia.

    Habitat

    Flower wasps are often seen in urban gardens, as well as living in forests, woodlands and

    heath.

    Behaviour and adaptationsFeeding and Diet

    Female flower wasps dig through the soil to reach beetle larvae and other soil insects.When a grub is located, the wasp lays an egg on it, and the developing wasp larva then eats

    it. Adult wasps feed on nectar.

    Other behaviours and adaptations

    The body of female flower wasps is adapted for digging.

    Life cycle

    Many species of flower wasps have wingless females (for example, the Blue Ant). In these

    species, mating occurs on the wing, with the male wasps carrying the female wasps. Some

    males actively feed the wingless females or carry them to food plants.Living with us

    Danger to humans and first aid

    Female flower wasps are capable of stinging if disturbed. As they are solitary insects,flower wasps do not pose the same level of threat to humans as social species of bees, ants

    or wasps do. However, unlike bees, wasps can sting more than once, and do not die after

    stinging. The sting causes a burning pain and swelling. If stings are multiple, a more severesystemic reaction may occur.

    In some individuals, wasp, bee and ant stings can cause an allergic reaction (anaphylaxis),but this is relatively uncommon. Effective treatment is available, which involves known

    bee/ant/wasp sting allergy sufferers carrying a special kit when outdoors. Immunotherapy

    The potter wasp

  • 8/2/2019 Wasp Removal Service 0423688352 Sydney

    16/52

    The potter wasps are closely related to the paper wasps. However, potter wasps do not form

    colonies.Size range

    1.5 cm

    Distribution

    Potter wasps are found throughout Australia.

    Habitat

    Potter wasps live in woodlands, heath and urban areas.

    Behaviour and adaptations

    Feeding and Diet

    Potter wasps are solitary, and feed on flower nectar and hunt caterpillars to feed their

    larvae.

    Life cycle

    Potter wasps make mud nests for their eggs and larvae or use abandoned burrows of otherinsects. They stock the nests with caterpillars and other grubs, which they seal in with mud.

    These are eaten alive by the wasp larvae.

    Living with usDanger to humans and first aid

    Potter wasps have the potential to deliver painful stings, but are not aggressive and rarely

    attack humans. An ice pack may be used to relieve the pain of the sting. If there is evidenceof an allergic reaction, medical attention should be sought.

    Spider wasps

    Spider wasps (family Pompilidae) are solitary wasps. They prey on spiders to feed their

    larvae or they parasitise other spider wasps. They do not form colonies to defend nests and

    are not aggressive.Identification

    Spider wasps are active in gardens during summer months. The spider wasp most

    commonly encountered is Cryptocheilus bicolor. This is a very large black wasp withorange wings and legs and a broad orange band around its abdomen. It holds its wings up

    when resting but flicks them when it hops and runs about on its long legs.

    Size range5 mm - 35 mm long

    Distribution

    Spider wasps are found throughout Australia.Habitat

    Spider wasps live in urban areas, forests and woodlands, wetlands, heath.Behaviour and adaptations

    Feeding and Diet

  • 8/2/2019 Wasp Removal Service 0423688352 Sydney

    18/52

    Spider wasps are often seen digging in soft sandy soil, dragging huntsman spiders along.

    Some species are known to bite off the legs of large hairy spiders, trimming them to make

    them easier to handle. Others have scales that help them walk on spiders' webs, allowingthem to sneak up and attack the owner.

    Other behaviours and adaptations

    Spider wasps have a habit of flicking their wings on landing and moving with a jumping

    motion. The wasp does this when searching for a spider in bark, cracks, crevices or soil.

    Life cycle

    The spider wasps you are most likely to see and hear are female wasps preparing nest

    chambers for their larvae. They dig a burrow using long spines on their front legs, then

    search rapidly around tree trunks and on the ground for a spider. On finding the spider,which may be as large as a huntsman or funnel-web and twice as heavy as itself, the wasp

    stings and paralyses it, and then drags or flies it back to the burrow. She then lays an egg

    on the spider's body, and seals it in a chamber or cell at the end of the burrow. The larva

    hatches and feeds on the body of the spider before pupating in a thin silky cocoon in thecell.

    Some spider wasps sting the spider and lay an egg on it but do not dig a burrow to put it in.

    The spider is left where it was stung and the larva hatches and eats the spider. A small

    number of Spider Wasps steal spiders from other Spider Wasps for their own larva. Thisbehaviour is known as klepto-parasitism (klepto: Ancient Greek for 'theft').

    Living with us

    Danger to humans and first aid

    Spider wasps have a potentially painful sting. However they are not aggressive and are

    unlikely to use their venom on humans unless extremely provoked. The best advice is to

    leave them alone. An ice pack may be used to relieve the pain of the sting. If there isevidence of an allergic reaction, medical attention should be sought.

    Identification

    Hatchet wasps have a long thin waist and a flat abdomen that moves up and down as they

    walk, resembling a flag or hatchet.Size range

    1.5 cm

    Distribution

    Hatchet wasps are found throughout Australia.

    Habitat

    Hatchet wasps live in urban areas, forests and woodlands, arid areas and grasslands.

    Behaviour and adaptations

    Life cycle

    Hatchet wasps parasitise the egg cases of cockroaches. The female wasp searches for

    recently laid cockroach eggs on which to lay her own. The wasp larvae hatch first and eatthe cockroach eggs, eventually pupating to become fully developed adults.

    One introduced species of hatchet wasp, Evania appendigaster, is common in Sydney and

    is extremely welcome because it parasitises the American Cockroach (Periplanetaamericana), an introduced pest. Having eaten their fill, the larvae pupate into fully

    developed adults.

    Wasps Suborder Apocrita

  • 8/2/2019 Wasp Removal Service 0423688352 Sydney

    22/52

    Wasps are a diverse group of insects. In Australia alone there are over 12,000 species,

    ranging from the tiny diapriid wasps, which are barely visible to the naked eye, to the

    spider wasps and cicada-killer wasps, capable of taking large prey. Most wasps havecarnivorous larvae that feed on other insects and spiders. The adults provide food for them

    by capturing prey or by laying the egg on or near the food source, which might be an egg,

    larva or pupa of another insect.

    Features of wasps:

    * The egg-laying structures (ovipositors) in some wasps are modified into stingers.

    * Adults generally feed on nectar and can pollinate flowers in the process.

    * Some are hyper-parasites, which use other parasitic wasps' larvae or hosts to feed their

    young.* Many wasps can act as biological control agents on crop pests.

    * Most native species are solitary, but a few, such as the paper wasps, form colonies.

    The cuckoo wasps

  • 8/2/2019 Wasp Removal Service 0423688352 Sydney

    23/52

    The cuckoo wasps are a group of 76 species that mostly parasitise other wasps. Like a

    cuckoo bird that manages to get another species to raise its chick, these wasps use another's

    nest for their own young.Number of species

    76

    Identification

    Cuckoo wasps are usually a shiny green colour.

    Size range1.2 cm

    Distribution

    Cuckoo wasps are found in central and eastern New South Wales.Habitat

    Cuckoo wasps live in urban areas, forests and woodlands, and heath.

    Behaviour and adaptationsFeeding and Diet

    Cuckoo wasps can be seen hovering in gardens where they feed on flower nectar and

    search for wasp nests.

    Life cycle

    On finding the eggs or the nest containing eggs of a suitable species, such as the Mud-

    dauber Wasp, the female cuckoo wasp lays an egg next to the egg of the host species. The

    cuckoo wasp's egg hatches first and the larva eats the food that is stored for the Mud-dauber's young. The larvae of some cuckoo wasp species wait for the host larvae to hatch

    and have their meal, before attacking and eating them. If the female cuckoo wasp is

    discovered invading the Mud-dauber's nest, she rolls into a ball and uses special armourplates on her body to protect her.

    The European Wasp

  • 8/2/2019 Wasp Removal Service 0423688352 Sydney

    28/52

    The European Wasp was first found in Australia in 1959 in Tasmania. By 1978 they were

    also known in Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales and Western Australia, and arenow firmly established in the Sydney area.

    Identification

    European Wasps are a stout wasp with a bright yellow and black banded abdomen, and a

    pair of black spots on each yellow band. They have two pairs of clear wings with the first

    pair larger. They have black antennae and fly with their legs held close to the body.Size range

    1.2 cm - 1.6 cmDistribution

    The European Wasp is a native of Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor. In Australia, the

    first European Wasps were found in Tasmania in 1959. By 1978 they had also been found

    in Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales and Western Australia. They are now firmlyestablished in metropolitan Sydney, and are also found in Bowral/Moss Vale, the Blue

    Mountains, Narrandera, Deniliquin, Albury, Wagga, Coleambally, Griffith, Dareton, Junee,

  • 8/2/2019 Wasp Removal Service 0423688352 Sydney

    29/52

    Forbes, Coonabarabran, Orange, Bathurst and West Wyalong. European Wasps are also

    present in New Zealand.

    Habitat

    European Wasps are found in large communal nests, normally only visible as a small

    entrance hole. They are normally built either underground or in cavities in walls, ceilings,logs or trees. The nests are made from chewed wood fibre.

    Behaviour and adaptations

    Feeding and Diet

    Workers of the European Wasp leave the nest in search of food, and are attracted to meats,

    sweet food and drink.

    Other behaviours and adaptations

    European Wasps' nests, which are made out of chewed wood fibre, can be found in

    ceilings, wall cavities, logs, tree trunks and soil.

    Life cycle

    European Wasp colonies are started in spring by a single fertilised queen, which lays anegg in a number of cells in the nest. These hatch into grub-like larvae and are tended by the

    queen for a number of weeks. They become the first batch of workers that take over nest

    construction and rearing of the larvae while the queen concentrates on laying eggs. Thenest grows throughout the summer until a batch of males and new queens are hatched in the

    autumn. These mate and fly off to start new nests. In Europe the nest then disintegrates, but

    in Australia's warm climate the nest can continue to grow over a number of seasons. This

    results in giant and potentially dangerous nests of over 100,000 wasps.Mating and reproduction

    Towards the end of summer, several larger cells are constructed, in which a new generationof queens develop. Males also develop, and mate with the queens outside the nest before

    they die.

    In late autumn the original queen dies, and the new queens disperse to find suitable over-

    wintering sites before forming a new nest in spring. In Europe the old nest then

    disintegrates and the dispersed queens hibernate in sheltered spots beneath loose tree bark

    or in roofs. A hibernating queen holds on to the substrate with her jaws, and tucks her legs,wings and antennae beneath her, remaining immobile for up to six months. However it is

    significant that in the warmer climate of Australia, one of the new queens may stay in the

    nest and begin laying eggs, without the usual over-wintering period being observed. Overseveral seasons, this can result in giant nests containing more than 100,000 wasps.

    Living with us

    Danger to humans and first aid

    European Wasps are more aggressive than bees and will attack when their nests are

    disturbed. Unlike bees, wasps can sting more than once, and do not die after stinging. The

  • 8/2/2019 Wasp Removal Service 0423688352 Sydney

    30/52

    sting causes a burning pain and swelling. If stings are multiple, a more severe systemic

    reaction may occur.

    In some individuals, wasp, bee and ant stings can cause an allergic reaction (anaphylaxis),

    but this is relatively uncommon. Effective treatment is available, which involves known

    bee/ant/wasp sting allergy sufferers carrying a special kit when outdoors. Immunotherapyor desensitisation is also available, and can reduce the severity of the allergy. Seven deaths

    over a twenty-year period attributed to wasp stings have been recorded in Australia, mainly

    amongst known allergy sufferers who were not carrying their preventative medicine withthem.

    A cold pack may be used to relieve the pain of the sting. If there is evidence of a more

    severe reaction or the sting victim is known to be allergic to wasp and bee venom, medicalattention should be sought immediately.

    Fig wasps

    Some native Australian fig trees need fig wasps for successful pollination and the wasps

    rely on the tree to complete their lifecycle. This relationship has evolved to the point wherethe tree and the wasp are completely dependent on each other.

    Identification

    Male fig wasps are wingless, a golden-brown colour and have an under-turned 'tail';females have wings and a long head.

    Size range

    1.5 mmDistribution

    Fig wasps are found throughout Australia.Habitat

    Fig wasps live in urban areas, forests and woodlands and anywhere native fig trees arefound.

    Behaviour and adaptationsLife cycle

    After mating inside a fig, which contains the minute flowers, the pollen-laden female flies

    off to find another fig. She burrows into it with her long head and sometimes loses her

    wings and antennae in the process. She then attempts to lay her eggs inside the flowers and,in the process, pollinates them with pollen from the last fig she visited. The fig tree

    chemically detects the presence of the egg and surrounds it with plant tissue. This provides

    the larva, which hatches inside the fig, with enough food to grow and restart the cycle.

    The males spend their entire yet short lives inside the fig, where they mate with females

    and die soon after.Classification
