In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players can catch wasps and tarantulas. Paper wasps are more docile than other species. Japanese giant hornets are the largest wasp species in the world. However, you can also capture scorpions and tarantulas. If you do capture a wasp, you can sell it to earn Bells or donate it to a museum.

Paper wasps are more docile than other wasps
Paper wasps are social insects, like bumble bees. They live in colonies. The queen builds a nest, and then her offspring take over the major duties of the colony. The offspring are responsible for collecting food, nest maintenance, and defense. They do not have stingers, and thus are non-aggressive. Paper wasp colonies disband before winter. In the fall, selected females mate with each other and raise brood.
The yellowjacket is a more aggressive species, with a large colony and a powerful sting. It has a guard on the entrance to protect itself. Vibrations or rapid movements near its nest can disturb the colony. Often, yellowjackets sting people in a single attack. Their stings contain alarm chemicals. While paper wasps are more docile than yellow jackets, you should not let them get too close to you. Their stings can sting you several times.
Paper wasps are social insects, but they are a problem if their nests are on your property. Their nests usually have fifteen to fifty cells. They are long-legged, elongated, and golden brown. The stinging venom isn’t as severe as those from other wasps. Generally, paper wasps don’t cause harm, but they are aggressive when defending their nests.
Japanese giant hornets are the largest species of wasp in the world
Giant hornets are a threat to the human population, as they can destroy entire hives in less than four hours. Humans and other animals should avoid these insects when they are present in the wild, especially at animal crossings. In addition to being a pest, their sting can be extremely dangerous, as their venom is highly toxic, corroding flesh. Getting stung by enough of these hornets can lead to serious medical conditions, including kidney failure. In Japan, at least 30 people die from stings by giant hornets each year.
Although these hornets have only been reported in the Pacific Northwest, they are highly unlikely to spread to the northeastern and southeastern United States. However, in 2020, Entomologists received thousands of reports of them in areas outside of the Pacific Northwest, despite their limited distribution. This is due to misidentifications by scientists of other wasp species. While it may seem like a pest to you, giant hornets are actually the world’s largest hornet species. They are especially drawn to alcohol, sweet smells, and human sweat. Similarly, they are sensitive to running people.
In the meantime, be aware of these hornets and their habits. Beekeepers in Vietnam will tell you that feces are a good repellent for these creatures. But they may not be practical for you to wear a hazmat suit. As a result, be sure to protect your animal-crossings with precautions. A hazmat suit won’t protect you in the heat of Vietnam.
Players can catch tarantulas, scorpions, and wasps in New Horizons
The upcoming Animal Crossing: New Horizons game will have new features and a bug to keep in mind. Wasps are a serious nuisance in this game and can sting your character or make the experience a lot less enjoyable. To avoid getting stung by wasps, prepare by carrying a party popper, a net, or other items to prevent wasp stings. Another tip is to shake trees from the front, which will cause them to automatically face you when they drop a hive. This way, you’ll avoid being stung by wasps.
During a game, you’ll encounter wasps when you shake trees. A nest will fall from a tree and a swarm of wasps will chase you. The best way to avoid getting stung by a wasp is to equip yourself with a net, and then shake the tree only when the nest falls. Once you’ve been stung by a wasp, you can scoop it up with the net to collect the wasp and sell it for Bells. Alternatively, you can donate them to the museum to earn Bells.
Once stung by a wasp, your left eye will swell. The stinging will not cause any permanent damage to your character, but the swollen eye will cause you to return to the front of the house. You can heal your left eye after getting stung once, but you cannot save the game and start over from the beginning again. This is one reason to always wear a protective mask while playing New Horizons.
