"This is a really big year for wasps," said Lynn Kimsey, director of the UC Davis Bohart Museum of Entomology...
Wasps are looking for large bodies of water such as pools and ponds to cool themselves down, "which makes them seem more present" compared to past years, Kimsey told The Sacramento Bee...
Kimsey cautions people not to blame the uptick in wasp activity on the long stretches of scorching temperatures seen in California this summer...
According to Kimsey, extreme temperatures have made wasps more present but the weather hasn't increased their population size.
