What are stinging insects?
Stinging pests are typically identified by a stinger extending from their hind end. They use their stingers as a means of defense, and, as predatory species, to inject their prey with venom and paralyze them.
Species of stinging insects are usually grouped into one of two categories: social or solitary. Solitary females build individual nests to raise and care for their young. Though solitary species build individual nests, many of the same species often inhabit the same area. Social stinging insects live together in large colonies with hundreds or thousands of members. Caring for the nest, young insects, and the queen is a group effort.
Types of stinging insects common to our region include bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, and mud daubers.
