The sirex wood wasp is toxic to trees, but not to humans. The wasp injects a toxic mucus and a fungus while she is laying her eggs in the bark of susceptible pine trees.
It sounds like you might be describing a black widow spider. Black widows are black with orange/red markings on their abdomen and have venomous stingers called pedipalps. They are known for their potent venom and distinctive coloring.
No wasp eats wood. There is a big species of wasp that has larvae eating wood, the Horntail (Uroceras gigas). Other wasps chew wood and use it to construct their nests. The hornet feeds itself with sap from the bark of trees and uses wood for nestbuilding also.
yes they are. They are called wood wasps because they like to hang around wood or timber.
The home of a wasp is called a nest. Wasp nests are typically constructed from a paper-like material made from wood fibers mixed with saliva. The queen wasp starts building the nest in the spring, and the colony grows throughout the summer. Wasps are known for their aggressive defense of their nests, so it's important to be cautious around them.

Sirex wood wasps can be dangerous to pine trees. When a female wood wasp lays eggs. It drills one to six holes into the tree, lays an egg on each hole and fills them with mucous. Usually one hole is filled with fungal spores also introduced by the female. Once the eggs hatch, the larvae tunnel into the wood and feed on the fungus. The fungus and mucous kill the tree.
To get rid of the sirex wood wasp, first identify infested trees and assess the damage. You can cut down and properly dispose of heavily infested trees to prevent the spread. Additionally, applying insecticides specifically designed for wood-boring insects may help, but it's crucial to follow local regulations and guidelines. For severe infestations, consider consulting a professional pest control service or an arborist.
Sirex, or Sirex noctilio, is a species of woodwasp native to Europe and Asia, but it has become an invasive pest in parts of North America and Australia. The larvae of Sirex develop in stressed or dying conifer trees, particularly pine, leading to significant damage and tree mortality. The wasp is often recognized by its long, slender body and a distinctive spike at the rear, which is used for laying eggs. Management of Sirex infestations typically involves biological control methods, including the introduction of natural predators or parasites.
yes they are very dangerous and are super aggressive and will sting you without you doing anything

The sirex woodwasp, scientifically known as Sirex noctilio, primarily inhabits coniferous forests, particularly those with species like pine and spruce. It is found in various regions around the world, including parts of North America, Europe, and Australia. This woodwasp typically lives in dead or dying trees, where it lays its eggs and the larvae develop by feeding on the wood.
