Wasps, that are not white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant.

Wasp, common name applied to most species of hymenopteran insects, except bees and ants. Insects known as wasps include the sawflies, the parasitic wasps, and the stinging wasps, which are the best known. About 75,000 species of wasps are known, most of them parasitic.

Like humans, only the females are dangerous,

All female stinging wasps can defend themselves and their nests by using their ovipositor to inject venom. Males do not have a stinger.

Bye....gotta go hide now.
