What is Wasp Orientalis?
there Wasp orientalis or Eastern Hornet is one of the three species of the wasp genus currently in Europe, and is almost always present in southern Italy. The eastern wasp is recognized by its uniform red color, broken by a yellow stripe on the abdomen and a spot on the head.
These insects are slightly more poisonous than ordinary wasps. Their venom is hepatotoxic and hemolytic (US Army Public Health Center, Entomological Science Program fact-sheet). When irritated, they usually take a threatening flight towards the target and leave before pouncing. On the other hand, if they are touched, they sting immediately: they also have the ability to partially orient the stick so that they can even stab laterally with respect to their body.
The species seems to prefer urban environments where it finds a wide availability of protected nesting sites. It can become aggressive if the nest is attacked, especially in late summer when new larvae are inside.
