The vespa affinis wasp is a species of insect of the genus vespa. In Javanese, this wasp tawon ndas mud and is shaped like a head.
Vespa affinis wasps have a body size of approximately 22mm to 25mm. Meanwhile, the queen reaches 30mm. The color of this wasp is predominantly black or red-brown with a yellow or orange bracelet on its abdomen.
Vespa affinis wasps or Ndas wasps live in subtropical Asia, such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. In Jakarta, Ndas wasps do not necessarily live among skyscrapers. Swarms of Ndas wasps still look for lush places and can often be found in the middle of residential areas. These wasps are also predators of other insects and often roam on plants, including banana plant flowers.
Vespa affinis wasps have a poisonous sting, so people who receive enough stings can die. If only one or two wasps sting, the sting will not be too dangerous. This type of wasp becomes dangerous when it attacks in groups.
The sting of the Ndas wasp will experience allergies with symptoms of swelling, this can be treated by compressing with ice cubes or antihistamine and corticosteroid drugs. However, if not treated within 1X24 hours when the wasp stings in large numbers, Hyperallergies can progress to severe allergies that can pose a systemic risk or damage organs.
If you see a wasp nest, try not to damage it or move it because the ndas wasp has the ability to call its friends to counterattack when it feels a threat. You can consult with parties who are experts in their fields such as using insect exterminator services such as ETOS Indonusa who are experts in handling pest problems for more than 30 years.
