CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to determine the exact location of a hornet's nest

1. How to determine the specific location of a hornet's nest

Wasp tag tracking method: Use hemp or thin fishing line to make a small ring, and use half a piece of cigarette paper to wrap the end of the line to form a triangular wasp tag. When the wasp is feeding, gradually insert it from the tail to the neck, and twist and shrink the ring until it does not fall off.

Make 3-5 hornet markers in succession, observe (with the help of a telescope) the hornets' route back to the nest, set up a second observation point where the hornets are out of sight, observe and track in turn until the hornet's nest is found.

Habits of wasps

Wasps are a group of insects with social behavior. Species of the family Psoralea usually do not have nests and live freely. When laying eggs, the female wasp builds a mud chamber or chooses a suitable bamboo tube to lay eggs in, and also stores larvae of other insects or spiders that have been caught and anesthetized by stinging.

Other types of wasps live in nests throughout their lives. There are queens, worker bees and drones in a bee colony. Queens are female bees that mate with drones in the previous autumn and store sperm in spermatophores to be used in batches this year. Drones die soon after mating. When the weather gets colder, fertilized female bees leave the nest and seek sheltered places such as cracks in walls and haystacks to spend the winter together.

You need to find wasps near the water source, and then follow them in the direction they fly. If the hive is big, wasps will fly around from time to time, so you need to follow them slowly. This method works best in the afternoon when the sun is strong, because they need to take water back to feed the little wasps.

2. How to track wasps returning to the nest

Hello!

When it is full, it will return to the nest. When it finds a wasp, extend the bamboo pole to let the wasp fly over to eat: find a small frog, peel its skin or meat and hang it on a small bamboo pole. The correct way to track it is to tie the small piece of paper to its waist with a thin line while it is eating.

If it helps you, please accept it.

3. Can I track and photograph wasps?

If you have the ability or courage, you can indeed track and film wasps. If you have the skills, you can install a miniature camera on the wasp, which is even better. Of course, this is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

Yes. Regarding the problem of finding a hornet's nest in the wild in the countryside, there are actually many ways to do it. Since hornets are relatively large and their nests are relatively obvious, it is easier to find them than to find bees.

The name is still as follows

Wasp, scientifically known as "hornet", also known as "ant bee" or "yellow wasp". It is large and long, and highly toxic. It is a stinging insect in the suborder Apocrita (formerly known as Aculeata) of the order Hymenoptera, except for bees and ants. It is a widely distributed, diverse, fast-flying insect. It belongs to the family Vespidae of the order Hymenoptera. The female wasp has a powerful long stinger on its body. When attacked or disturbed by unfriendly forces, it will attack in groups, which can cause allergic and toxic reactions in people, and in severe cases, it can lead to death. Wasps usually use soaked pulp-like wood pulp to build nests and eat animal or plant food.

Toxicity: The main components of wasp venom are histamine, serotonin, bradykinin, hyaluronidase, etc. The venom is alkaline and can be easily neutralized by acidic solutions. The venom has hemolytic, hemorrhagic and neurotoxic effects, which can damage the myocardium, renal tubules and glomeruli, especially the proximal renal tubules, and can also cause allergic reactions.

Symptoms of poisoning: After being stung by a wasp, the stung skin will immediately become red, swollen, painful, and even have petechiae and skin necrosis; when the eyes are stung, there will be severe pain, tears, redness and swelling, and corneal ulcers may occur. Systemic symptoms include dizziness, headache, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, irritability, and high blood pressure, which generally disappear within a few hours to a few days. In severe cases, there may be drowsiness, systemic edema, oliguria, coma, hemolysis, myocarditis, hepatitis, acute renal failure and shock, and even death. Some people who are allergic to bee venom may experience urticaria, anaphylactic shock, etc.

Reason for attack

1. Climate Due to climate warming, especially the increase in average winter temperature, the number of overwintering wasps has increased.

There are currently about 120,000 to 150,000 beehives (an average of about 20,000 per county).

2. The increase in the area of ​​ecological forest land and the increase in the number of insect populations have provided abundant food resources for hornets. At the same time, the large-scale economic forests such as persimmons, pears, apricots, etc. have provided convenience for hornets to obtain water. Hornets like to eat nectar-derived foods. Data show that Ziyang County, which has the highest rapeseed promotion rate, has been most severely damaged by hornets.

3. The vast majority of human casualties are caused by retaliation when they actively attack beehives; the cosmetics they use contain ingredients similar to hornet pheromones; and people who drink alcohol are more vulnerable to hornet attacks.

Wasps are quite ferocious, so if you don't understand their properties, it's best not to follow and photograph them.

When you can't see at night, you can install a camera to capture the life of wasps.

Yes, just take protective measures and be careful not to disturb the hornets!

4. Can drones accurately track and locate hornets?

Can drones track wasps correctly? If there is a positioning system, it can definitely

I don't know if this wasp can be tracked by listening. Of course it can, but it must be sperm.
