However, it could not stop him from making a century as he reduced his opponent’s lead.
The Ace in the Pack was unaware of the wasp until the closing moments of the break, when the referee intervened.
They could be seen asking him to stop so the insect could be brushed off his back, before appearing to stamp on it once it fell to the floor.
Once the action had resumed, Trump completed a 129 break to reduce Carter’s lead to 4-3.
The winner of their match will take on either Mark Selby or Mark Allen in the last four on Saturday.
Snooker fans were quick to react to the wasp’s cameo on social media, with one writing: “Judd Trump playing high level snooker with a wasp attached to the back of his waist coat…”
Another viewer added: “Is that the highest ever break while carrying a wasp?”
