CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Are wasps active in winter?

They are hibernating. Many insects, such as mosquitoes and flies, spend the winter this way.

You don't have to hibernate in a nest. Find a hidden place and the temperature should be suitable. Flies don't have nests, so they can hibernate in a hole.

In their nests. Generally, wasps emerge from their sting when the temperature is between 12 and 13 degrees Celsius, and start to build nests when the temperature is between 16 and 18 degrees Celsius. They hibernate in autumn when the temperature drops to between 6 and 10 degrees Celsius. They are most active in the spring when the temperature is high at noon, and often stop being active in the summer when it is hot at noon. They return to their nests at night and do not move. They have a habit of loving light. They stop being active when the wind speed is above level 3. The relative humidity is most suitable for activity when it is between 60 and 70%, and they stop going out on rainy days. Wasps are fond of sweet substances. Within a range of 500 meters, wasps can clearly identify the direction and return to the nest smoothly. If they are more than 500 meters away, they often get lost.

After entering October, the weather gradually gets colder and the wasp's activity range becomes smaller. The pupae have turned into adults and are released. There are fewer wasps in the nest, so generally if you don't poke its nest, it won't sting you, and it won't attack you in groups like in summer...
