To protect themselves if someone swats at them
They can do, although they will only do that if they can't escape.
no
No.... only bees die after they sting you
I think the question should have been "Do wasps die after just one sting?" The answer is no, a wasp has a smooth stinger and it can easily be withdrawn and used again.
when bees sting you they die. but wasps when they sting you they stay alive.
Wasps do not intentionally sting themselves. When a wasp stings, it releases a chemical that can attract other wasps, which is why they are cautious about stinging. However, in some cases, a wasp may end up accidentally stinging itself while trying to sting something else.
There are nearly 300 types of wasps worldwide. The most common of these include: * Fig wasps - agaonidae * Cuckoo wasps - Chrysididae * Sand wasps (Cicada killer wasp) - Crabronidae * Gall wasps - Cynipidae * Velvet ants - (mutillidae * Fairyflies - Mymaridae * Spider wasps - Pompilidae * Digger wasps - Sphecidae * Flower wasps - Tiphiidae * Honets - Vaspidae * Paper wasps * Pollen wasps * Yellowjackets
they dont, only bees do.
Gall wasps do not sting because they do not possess a stinger or venom glands like other wasp species. They instead lay their eggs inside plants, causing the formation of galls or abnormal growths on the plant tissue.
Red wasps are a type of social wasp known for their bright red coloration. They are aggressive when provoked and can deliver a painful sting. Red wasps are commonly found in the southern United States and build their nests in sheltered locations such as attics, eaves, or under ledges.
they can sting their prey repeatedly
Wasps are not like their relative Bumblebee's they can sting repetitively, injecting venom into your body.
