Woman Attacks Man with Wasp Venom
In a recent and shocking incident, a woman is reported to have attacked a man with wasp venom. The attack occurred at a picnic spot in Vikarabad district of Telangana, India.
The woman, identified as Jayamma, allegedly stung the man with a wasp she had kept in her pocket. The man, who has not been named, is said to be critically injured and is currently being treated at a local hospital.
This is not the first time that Jayamma has resorted to using insects in an attack. In 2002, she stung her husband with scorpions and again in 2009 when she bit him with snakes. Jayamma has apparently admitted to these attacks, saying that she does it because she is angry with her husband.
This latest attack has provoked outrage among locals, who are calling for Jayamma to be punished. Police are currently investigating the incident and have registered a case against her.
Teenager stung by wasp six times in one day
A Michigan teenager was stung by a wasp six times within the span of one day, according to local reports.
The unidentified 16-year-old was reportedly outside playing basketball when she was targeted by the pesky insects. She was later rushed to the hospital after experiencing anaphylactic shock.
This is not the first time that the teen has been stung by a wasp; she reportedly suffers from a severe case of allergies to their venom. Experts believe that her recent exposure to multiple stings may have caused the anaphylactic shock.
In addition to being treated for her bee allergy, the girl is also being monitored for any possible signs of permanent brain damage.
Wasps Found Living in Tape Dispenser
Binghamton, New York (AP) - Workers in the accounting department of a business in upstate New York were shocked to find wasps living inside the tape dispenser.
The wasps had built their nest inside the hollow body of the dispenser, using the adhesive on the tape as building material.
"We couldn't believe it," said one of the workers. "There must have been hundreds of them."
The wasps were eventually exterminated, but not before they caused considerable disruption to the workflow in the accounting department.
This is not the first time that strange creatures have been found living in unlikely places. In 2013, a family in England discovered a bat living in their roof space. And in 2016, a woman in Oregon came home to find a snake had crawled into her car through an open window.
Wasps Make Comeback as Pest Control Agents
The wasp is known for its painful sting, but these pests are also proving to be valuable allies in the fight against other insects.
The European paper wasp, common to North America, has made a comeback as a pest control agent. Their ability to paralyze caterpillars with their venom makes them effective at controlling populations of gypsy moths, which can cause extensive damage to forests.
The use of wasps as natural pest control agents is becoming more common as the need for alternative methods grows. In many cases, using wasps is preferable to using pesticides, which can be harmful to the environment.
Wasp populations are often monitored and increased when necessary in order to maintain healthy ecosystems. This helps protect crops and forests from destructive insects while minimizing the use of pesticides.
Deadly Asian Giant Hornet Discovered in the UK
The Asian giant hornet, the world's largest hornet, has been discovered in the UK for the first time. The hornet is up to twice the size of British honeybees and its sting can kill a human within minutes. It is feared that the arrival of the hornet could lead to a decline in honeybee populations as they are their main predator.
Asian giant hornets have previously been found in Europe but this is the first time they have been spotted in the UK. They are believed to have travelled to the UK on board freight containers from China.
The hornets were found by chance by beekeepers near Gloucester and scientists say they may have been in the country for some time. In order to eradicate them, it will be necessary to find their nests and destroy them. However, this will not be easy as these hornets are highly territorial and can travel up to 25 miles (40 km) per day searching for food.
Asian giant hornets are so-called because of their size; they can grow up to 2 inches (5 cm) long compared with British honeybees, which measure just under 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length. They also have a distinctive orange and black striped abdomen.
Their stingers contain a powerful venom that can kill a human within minutes. The venom contains toxins that destroy red blood cells, causing organ failure and death. In addition, people who are stung can suffer an allergic reaction that can lead to anaphylactic shock and death.
Honeybees are their main prey but the hornets will also attack other insects such as butterflies and dragonflies. They build large nests of chewed up wood pulp that can contain up to 700 individual hornets.
The European Union has introduced a ban on transporting these insects across borders and anyone who finds one should contact their local Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) office for help with eradication
