Wasp

Wasps include familiar paper-nest builders as well as tiny species that develop in or on other animals. Social workers may hunt prey for larvae, while solitary females provision nests or choose suitable hosts. Adults often use sugar-rich foods, including nectar. Their activities connect them with pollination and the regulation of other insect populations. Body shape, nesting habits and the presence or use of a sting differ, so wasp should not imply one uniform kind of insect.
