Asian Wasp 1A "Lorea and Jon"

"CONSEQUENCES OF THE ASIAN WASP IN BIODIVERSITY"

The asian wasp as we have mention before is  a threat to Durangaldea’s native honey bee, social wasps and other prey insects. A loss to our native pollinator species could have a significant impact upon agricultural crop production and wildflower populations.

Similarly, decline of a top predator such as our social wasps would have negative consequences for the natural control of invertebrate pests in agriculture and the structure of wild invertebrate communities. Here in Durango the eradication of the wasp is making the flora of the area ill, so as some pine trees being destroyed because of the asian wasp nests.

Although it affects biodiversity, it also affects to human. One example could be the venomous sting of these wasp. In human, they create allergic reactions. Wasp are more aggressive when humans  move close to their colonies.

Because of these reasons we think it is a very important problem and in the next post we will propose some resolutions.
