Wasp -see also Bee
A great
many bees and wasps can inflict a severe sting. The
stinging apparatus is the modified ovipositor, which is used
to inject venom into the victim's flesh. Ants and wasps
are capable of extracting their stings after use and although
honey bees try to do so, they rarely succeed as the barbs
on the lancets hold the sting so firmly that the bee must
tear itself away in order to escape.
