What are Thread-waisted Wasps?
Thread-waisted wasps are a group of wasps with very thin waists that give them their distinctive name. There are over 500 different species of thread-waisted wasps, with some of the most common including paper wasps, umbrella wasps, and potter wasps.
While not all thread-waisted wasps are aggressive, some species will sting if their nest is disturbed. Their stings can be quite painful and in rare cases cause severe allergic reactions.

- Sharp, burning pain at the sting site
