Wasp ndas, which has the scientific name Vespa affinis, is a dangerous wasp type. Wasps ndas are very easily recognized by their yellow or orange bracelet on their belly. Then, the similarity in shape to Vespa Piaggio makes this insect given the scientific name Vespa affinis.

Ndas wasps are very aggressive when disturbed, and they have pheromones that serve as a warning sign for other wasps. The pheromones released by the ndas wasp during the first sting trigger other wasps to attack.

The sting together is deadly to humans because it can cause anaphylaxis or a severe allergic reaction.

Only female wasps can sting because they have stinging organs and have venom or venom. The male wasp cannot sting, he only stabs, he both has some kind of stinger but he (the male wasp) does not sting.
