Yellow Jacket Wasp (scientific name: Vespula squamosa) is a dangerous species of wasp known for its ability to use its stinger to inject venom into its prey, paralyzing them (wasps are carnivorous) or to defend itself against threats.
Can the Yellow Jacket escape this deadly trap?
Additionally, Yellow Jackets can consume honey like honeybees, which is why they are attracted to the sweet nectar produced by the Venus Flytrap (scientific name: Dionaea muscipula). So, can a Yellow Jacket escape once trapped?
The diet of the Venus Flytrap consists of 33% ants, 30% spiders, 10% beetles, and 10% grasshoppers, with less than 5% consisting of flying insects. Thus, Yellow Jackets fall into that meager 5%, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they can easily escape this deadly trap.
