Description
Vespa are highly social and play a critical role in the ecosystem through pollination and natural pest control, feeding on other insects. Interestingly, they can recognize each other's faces, a rarity in the insect world. Despite their intimidating reputation, most Vespa species prefer to avoid humans and will only attack if their nests are threatened, showcasing a sophisticated, defensive behavior rather than unprovoked aggression.
