Going on a camping trip could be one of the finest adventures youll experience. Fresh air, spectacular mountains, stunning plants and more are all about many campgrounds. But humans arent the only species to be located amongst them. And not every single one is friendly.
The class of wasp common to the regions that the evergreen tree grows is the yellowjacket wasp. Some will build their nests in trunks, but most will attempt to construct a nest beneath an awning, normally at the end of spring and beginning of summer. The wasps typically leave the nest early in the morning and returning back in the late afternoon. Frequently, theyll build a nest on the ground, noticeable by a dime sized hole.
Although, not particularly aggressive, unless the colony becomes aroused by someone coming close to the nest. It this happens, a number of wasps will fly away at once and the likelihood of a sting soars. They tend to be attracted by the whiff of meat being cooked, sugar water (even a tiny amount on the rim of a soda bottle), and various other human goods. If you dont notice them, the chances are greater that youll come into contact, leading to a sting.
