wasps (could a wasp sting a fly)

It’s entirely possible, wasps are like natures assassins. There’s a certain species of wasp for most different pests that exclusively hunt that particular pest, including the American Cockroach, different spiders and tarantulas, crop destroying bugs like boll weevils and certain flies etc.

Wasps are ass fucking toss pots, im not that into flys either. I reckon they’d start plotting against you, one of them would distract you by doing the can-can, and the other would dig through the table, and they’d both escape. They’d then fly into the nearest window and make those annoying noises, and drive you insane till you had to go out to get some fly spray. While you were away, the wasp will go and hide, and the fly will find some fresh fruit and start to eat it. As soon as you get back in, the wasp comes out of hiding, and stings you one the finger tip, so that it is really painfull to press the button on the fly spray. The fly and wasp high-fives.

A wasp could easily take a fly any day!

Yesterday I witnessed (with my own two eyes) a wasp taking off holding a worm (granted, it was a very small worm) and it landed and began eating the worm.
I have a massive phobia about wasps, but I must admit, I was transfixed by this gory display of the stripey ninja’s strength (and appetite)!

I also am more than a little bit scared of spiders and was dismayed to hear that there is a "wasp spider"…… it’s a spider that is yellow and black like a wasp!

Now lets get one of them in the glass too and have some sort of tag team thing going on!

Wow what a great idea!!! I have been mooting the principle of Insect Wars to my friends for ages, thinking about how a hi-tech tv series could be made of it.
If only they could make wee little lasers and cyborg attachments for the insects, that’d be awesome.
"Tonight… MechaSpider vs Waspbot!!"

it is probably less about physical restraints, and more about wether chemically it would affect the fly…

we get stung because the "sting" has an allergic reaction to our immune system, yet wether a fly has those same reactions is the question!

V.V.

V.V.[/quote:2ejr9nvd]I think it would have SOME reaction to being pierced almost in half by a massive stinger. [/quote:2ejr9nvd]

yes very true.. the needle would penetrate a fly.. but the "sting" itself is debatlable wether it would haver a reaction.

in comparrison to both sides a wasp has been known to sting flies

but…Due to the venom in the wasps stinger the fly is dead within 5 seconds

(im a bit of a science geek )

Not only that, but these things usually target a certain species specific to theirs. They only really stings other things only if it feels threatened in some way, other than that,If they are attacking a fly, it probably has a reason. It sure as hell isn’t attacking it because it’s there or because it feels threatened by it, therefore its venom must have a certain chemical make up specific to what ever fly it’s attacking.

Flies are not natural enemy’s of the wasps are they? If not they wouldn’t sting flies I think..

^ Offcourse it’s possible.. Wasps "could" sting a flie.. then again they "could" sting anything… So if we interpret that question literally this debate has no meaning.. The question itself is formulated wrong to have a good debate about it…

^ Exactly my point.. ^.^
