What is the purpose of the hornet?
Answers:
Hornet
Hornet, name commonly applied to the members of a group of social wasps that make nests of papery material composed of chewed plant foliage and wood. The nest is often surrounded by a football-shaped paper envelope.
The bald-faced, or white-faced, hornet, widely distributed throughout North America, is about 3 cm (about 1.2 in) long and is black with white markings on most of its segments and on its face. Its gray nest is usually suspended from a tree limb. Yellow jacket is a name applied to a number of species that have extensive yellow markings. Yellow jackets construct their nests close to or under the ground; a single nest may contain up to 15,000 individuals. Yellow jackets are often found near humans, and their sting can be serious for people sensitive to their venom, or if a person is stung many times simultaneously.
The European hornet first appeared in the eastern United States about 1850. This hornet is reddish brown streaked with yellow and attains a length of more than 2.5 cm (1 in). Its brown nest is built in hollow trees, in rock crevices, or on human structures. Like the smaller hornet species, it eats insects and their larvae and ripe fruit.
In several hornet species, no workers are produced. Instead the female lays its eggs in the nests of other wasps, where the eggs hatch and the young are fed. See Also Wasp.
Scientific classification: Hornets belong to the family Vespidae, of the order Hymenoptera. The bald-faced, or white-faced, hornet is classified as Vespula maculata. The European hornet is classified as Vespula crabro.
What's the purpose of anything and why does everything need a purpose can't it just 'be' or is that too existential for tonight?
to sting the *** off you!!! now we have bees, and we call the female bee a queen bee, but I THINK, im not sure, that it is called the hornet as well. if so there is only one female in a hive and all the male bees have to mate off her!! but im not sure if the hornet is the female? now im even more confused!!! lol
as it is in the same family as a wasp it probably has a similar purpose. wasps and bees pollenate plants as the pollen brushes off onto them and then the wasp/bee goes to another plant and it germinates thus allowing plants to reproduce
they polinate plant and they also help control the fly population. some species of hornets and wasps lay their eggs in maggots which kills off the disease spreading pests. I actually buy wasps to release in my rabbit pen to get rid of the flies. they're really useful and the species i use don't sting.
there is no purpose really. jus another bug to make you run away
A man walked into a pet shop and asked to buy a wasp. the pet shop owner said he didn't sell wasps. "Why not ? " asked the man, " you've got one in the window !"
