Answer the questions briefly:

What is the best way to avoid a wasp sting?

According to the author, the best way to avoid a wasp sting is to stay completely still while it is hovering around you or even sitting on your skin. He illustrates this with an interesting example, painting the image of a night when one is in his bed and a wasp comes fluttering and sits on one’s neck. The ideal way to avoid being stung would be to hold one’s breath and stop moving in order to prevent it from detecting any danger or activity. Although the situation and the mannerism seem a little difficult, and there might be associated dangers involved, the author goes on to describe how this is actually an impossible situation because wasps and bees are unlike mosquitoes and prefer resting at night.
