Description

Feared by many but fascinating nonetheless, Mellinus belong to a group of wasps that exhibit unique behaviors. Despite their intimidating appearance, Mellinus performs a vital ecological function by controlling pest populations. They are also known for their peculiar courtship rituals, where males compete fiercely for female attention, often showing off their strength in aerial performances. Contrary to the common fear that all wasps are aggressive towards humans, Mellinus generally reserve their stings for hunting and defense against predators.
