A wasp in Florida with a black body and a red stripe could likely be the Red Paper Wasp (Polistes carolina). This species is common in the southeastern United States and is known for its distinctive coloration. Be cautious around all wasps, as their stings can be painful.
Paper wasps undergo complete metamorphosis, which includes four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The egg hatches into a larva that later forms a pupa, eventually emerging as an adult wasp. Each stage looks very different from the others and serves a specific purpose in the wasp's development.
Only a few species of wasp live a social life in northern California. You will find yellow jackets, paper wasps, and mud daubers in the area.
Bee venom has a pH of 5.5, meaning that it is mildly acidic, so blue litmus paper will turn red. Wasp venom, on the other hand, has a pH which is close to neutral, so no litmus reaction would be expected.
A guinea wasp is a type of parasitic wasp that preys on caterpillars. They lay eggs inside the caterpillar, which then hatch and feed on the host. Guinea wasps are used as biological control agents to manage pest populations in agriculture.
