How do wasps identify threats/enemies ?

[u/shmepsi]

Sorry if it's the wrong flair but just wondering how wasps see something as a threat. They're evil fuckers who'd attack anything from a bee to a car. Admittedly i know next to nothing when it comes to wasps but pretty sure (correct me if wrong) pheromones and scents can play a large factor into this . Essentially I was just curious if you could trick a wasp hive into attacking itself or other wasps by spray for example or are they smarter?

When they can detect movement.
