Wasps
Be cautious of wasps as they can be very aggressive and their sting can be excruciating. Unlike bees, they sting multiple times and even inject a pheromone that attracts more wasps. In Australia, wasps tend to nest in visible areas on properties, such as doorways and walls under eaves, which can easily bring them into contact with humans on a nice sunny day.
