  Wasps and honey bees can be mistaken for one another because both insects are capable of giving painful stings. While honey bees can attack when provoked, wasps are naturally and more aggressive predators. Identifying the difference between honey bees and wasps is important in order to administer proper treatment of wounds and appropriate pest control. Wasps and honey bees are both members of the Hymenoptera order of insects. However, their physical bodies are different. Honey bees measure around 2.54 cm long. Some have entirely black bodies, while others are black or brown with orange or yellow striations. Honey bees are hairy, while wasps usually have smooth and shiny skin. Wasps are narrow-waisted, have four wings and may be brightly colored, with black and yellow patterns. Wasps and bees also differ in lifestyle and habits. Honey bee colonies can have populations over 75,000, while wasps' colonies tend to have fewer than 10,000 individuals. Queen wasps build a nest for th

  Almost everyone would agree that cockroaches are an unpleasant sight. A house or an office with a flying or crawling cockroach immediately gives that ew feeling, suggesting that the area must be dirty. Australia has 20 to 30 types of cockroaches. These insects can survive in dirty environments and could grow in number so fast as each female can give birth to 400 more baby cockroaches. They can cause allergic reactions in humans such as asthma, and can help in the spread of diseases by carrying bacteria from polluted environments and contaminating your food. No one wants cockroaches to linger in their homes, unless you treat them as pets. If not, then get rid of them for good by getting a pest control service asap.

 There are more than 12,000 species of ants. The Queen ants can live as many years and many millions of babies! When ants encounter, it is regularly to the death! Queen ants have wings, which they shed when they start a new nest. When the queen of the colony dies, the colony can only survive a few months. Queens are rarely replaced and the workers are not able to reproduce. Argentine Ants   Diet: Argentine ants prefer sweet substances but will eat almost anything, including meats, eggs, oils and fats. Also, when foraging for food, Argentine ants leave pheromone trails everywhere they go, instead of just from nest to food source. This habit ensures they do not waste time visiting the same area twice. While other ant species worker ants are primarily responsible for gathering food, Argentine queens also assist with foraging for food. Habitat: Argentine ant colonies are located in wet environments near a food source. These colonies can grow to monumental size, sometimes covering entire ha
