Interesting Facts About Wasps

What is the Habitat of Wasps?
Wasps tend to construct their nests in shrubs, trees, bushes, or underground. Some wasp species utilize pre-existing burrows or nests made by other bees, wasps, smaller mammals, or insects, as mentioned earlier. Sandy or bare soils are favorable for wasp colonies to settle in.
Wasps can be observed in various locations around the garden, and sometimes they hibernate in sheds or other protected areas. They are also present in parks, hedgerows, meadows, and woods. These insects can be spotted from late spring until early fall, with a higher frequency during the late summer period.
Furthermore, wasps and hornets are attracted to warm weather, and their activity levels tend to increase when the temperature exceeds 75 degrees, and when there is little or no rain. These insects tend to construct their nests in various places, including under house eaves, and in trees, and some species even dig burrows in the ground.
