Scientists Take a Look at Wasps' Learning Behavior to Build Better Traps for Them

My first encounter with wasps was a bit scary. I saw one coming in through the window and thinking that it was a bee, I swatted it away. Eventually, it signaled to its friends to come to its aid. Before long, I was faced with a swarm coming in. It was a terrifying experience.

In parts of southern United States, they experience even worse encounters. So in response to this, scientists at Washington State University are conducting research in collaboration with the US Department of Defense to learn more about the ways wasps learn in order for them to create better traps for them.
