Hornet
Hornets are wasps of the genus Vespa, closely related to (and
resembling) yellowjackets. There are about 20 hornet species. Most live
in tropical Asia, but the insects are also found in Europe, Africa, and
North America, where the European hornet was introduced by humans.These social insects construct hives by chewing wood into a papery
construction pulp. They mature from egg to adult inside the community
hive.Queens dominate hornet hives and are the only females to reproduce. Most
other hornets are asexual female workers that perform essential
community duties such as building the hive, gathering food These insects eat some tree sap but they are also accomplished
predators. A hornet hive will eliminate many flies, bees, and other
insects.
