Big Stingers is a term used to refer to two types of stinging insects: Hornets and Wasps. Hornets are large, social insects that can grow up to 1.5 inches in length and have yellow and brown stripes. Wasps are smaller than Hornets, growing up to 0.75 inches in length, and they are usually black and yellow. Both Hornets and Wasps have a painful sting and can be found in many parts of the world.
