Best Answer

varies with insect types. some like yellow, others blue ect...

I also know for an almost definite fact that yellow jackets love to sting the color black, I don't know for sure if this applys to all wasps, but that's why beekeepers wear white. I know this from experince, I got stung over 8 times, while wearing black when someone accidentally disturbed a wasp nest, and only the people there that were wearing black got stung, everyone else wasn't touched.

YELLOW, but they will also sting any living thing that's black. That's why beekeepers wear white. So if you are in an area where wasps are, or might be, make sure you aren't wearing any black, if you aren't then you should be safe. I unfortunately know this from experience, and didn't know it before I accidentally disturbed a wasp nest while wearing a black shirt, and watch, and grey pants. Only me and whoever was wearing black got stung.

A wasp's feces tend to be colored black. Its consistency is liquid that projects a bad smell from the pile.
