Items can fall from shaking trees, and one of them is a wasp nest. Once a wasp nest falls to the ground, a swarm of wasps will spawn and it will chase you until you get stung, or you catch them.
In addition to shaking manually, sometimes wasp nests will fall from trees after you strike the tree with an axe, so always never let your guard down!
If you do not get away fast, the wasps will reach you and sting you, giving you a swollen eye.
You can fix this by purchasing Medicine available in the Resident Services.
If you haven't fixed yourself up with Medicine, and get stung by wasps for the second time, your character will faint and you will respawn by the doorstep of your house.
Getting stung twice and fainting will unlock the Taking the Sting Out Nook Mileage activity.

Hold a net before shaking a tree. When the nest falls, your character will turn to face the wasps automatically. You will already be ready to make the catch, so all you need to do to catch it with your net is press the A button.
You could easily get stung if you do this incorrectly, so be careful.
Sometimes you will encounter a wasp unintentionally, such as when shaking a tree or when hitting it with an axe. When this happens, simply run to a safe distance, then open your inventory, equip the net, turn around, and swing it with A. For help with this method, see the video section below.
Check out the following video if you are still having trouble catching a wasp.
Although wasps move faster than you, you can escape wasps by running to a nearby building. If you enter successfully, they will stop chasing you and disappear.

We recommend donating bugs you catch for the first time to the Museum. It will be worth it in the long run, as this is one of the harder bugs to obtain and you will be able to get one step closer to completing your bug collection.
You can sell a wasp for 2500 Bells at Nook's Cranny. If you are short on Bells, this is one way to earn fast.

You can also take out the wasp as a decoration. It will be in a glass cage for you to see. You can place it inside your house, or even outside! It is up to you to decorate.
