The wasps are Insecte S of Hyménoptère S (of the Ptérygote S, group of the Néoptère S). They lay out of a royal Jello that all, of the queen to the workers, are able to secrete. Contrary to the other social insects, the wasps nourish their couvains meat believed exclusively.

One can divide them into three S, or S, according to the authors.

Morphology

The known smallest wasp in 1999, Myrmaridae, measurement 0,2 Misters. Of a size usually varying from 10 to 19 millimetres, the wasps have a basic morphology near to that of the bees and sexuées ants: a head in particular equipped with mandibles and a pair of antennas, of a pair of eyes made up and three ocelles infra-reds, a thorax on which is fixed six membranous legs and four wings, finally the abdomen raising of the bright colors with at its end a Aiguillon connected to a gland with Venin. Contrary to the bee whose pivot is in the shape of hook, the wasp can prick several times because of the shape of its pivot in very pointed spade.

Classification

Sphecoidea: digger wasps

There are approximately 9000 species throughout the world. They are solitary insects. For its nest, the female can:

• to use various cavities (hollow stems, anfractuosities);
• to build of all parts of the cabins (out of ground);
• to dig several cells in the ground.

The nest will be filled with arthropods (mature insects, larvae, spiders) often paralyzed using its venom and on which it lays.

The Pompiloidae: pompiles

They are solitary insects. The female nourishes its larvae with Araignée S (a spider by egg). Either it uses the nest of the spider, or it uses a preexistent cavity, or it digs a burrow before or after having captured a prey.

The wasps build and social wasps

The wasps build (family of the Eumenidae and the Vespidae ) are insects forming of the small mud or clay nests. Certain species are solitary, others are social. . Only the female is equipped with a poisonous pivot.

• One can destroy venom using heat: it is Thermolabile. One can use vinegar or of bleach, but also approach a cigarette (without burning itself). The punctures can be very dangerous in the event of allergies.
