Wasps

During the warm summer months, wasps are at their peak activity. In the UK, both the Common Wasp and German Wasp are notorious for causing annoyance and delivering painful stings. Despite their distinctive yellow and black appearance, they can sometimes be mistaken for hornets, although hornets are less prevalent in this country, they can still pose a threat with their bites and stings.
