Why red wasp matters in Leon Springs / The Dominion / 78257 #
The biology below applies everywhere red wasp lives — but what makes Leon Springs / The Dominion / 78257 its own problem is this:
In Central Texas, I've seen a common pattern with red wasps. A homeowner might spot "some wasps" buzzing in and out of an opening in the soffit, gable, or siding. When you take a closer look, you could see around 15 to 30 wasps flying in and out each hour. The nest usually hides 6 to 24 inches inside the cavity, making it tough to spot from the outside. Inside, there can be anywhere from 30 to 150 adult wasps along with comb that holds developing brood.
About the red wasp #
All red wasps have that classic paper-wasp shape — a long, slender body with a pinched waist and long legs that hang down while they fly. You can tell males and females apart: females have shorter antennae and more triangular faces, while males sport longer, slightly hooked antennae and squarish faces. Keep in mind, only females can sting.
