the claim

Wasps defend themselves by stinging with an abdominal stinger rather than biting.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that wasps defend themselves by stinging with an abdominal stinger rather than biting?

Unclear. Two reference items indicate that familiar wasps possess a venomous abdominal stinger used in defense, but neither addresses whether wasps defend themselves by stinging rather than biting.
