A wasp with a red abdomen in the ecosystem is significant because it may be a species that plays a role in pollination or pest control. Wasps are important for maintaining balance in the ecosystem by controlling insect populations and helping with plant reproduction. The red abdomen may also serve as a warning signal to predators, helping to protect the wasp and its ecosystem.

NOT ME! They hurt more!!! It all depends on your individual response to the different venom they inject you with. I've always been more leery of red wasps because it always hurts and swells more than black ones, but that is just me.
