kunash Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I have had a few fly into the house, but luckily they normally fly out and are not a problem. But what are they? Wasps? Do they have a sting? If so, is it painful? They look as if they can pack a punch. I would not want to mess with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) You mean these guys Vespa Velunita (hornet family) I hear the sting is nasty, and they can attack en masse. Not good if there are kids about. Edited November 9, 2010 by canuckamuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ableguy Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 If they look mean they probably are, please no mother in law jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1fanatic Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 The OP needs to post a photo to establish the type of 'wasp' he is talking about. The joy of Thai wasps (IMO) is that they don't follow you about - they ignore you. They might pack a nasty sting, but as long as you leave them alone they have no interest in people.

GarryP Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Big dark brown things they are. Whenever the wife puts out beef to sun dry they come around and take their share. They do pack a real sting but don't appear to be aggresive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonrakers Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 The wasps in Thailand don't appear to live in large nests, rather they live as individuals or small groups. This probably explains why they are less aggressive as nest wasps tend to be very protective of the nest. The Thai wasps aren't so bothered. Mess with them directly though and I think they'll have something to say about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
