I guess that's one less critter for Y.... Oh well...
Wasps are any of a large number of hymenoptera insects, related to ants and bees. There are numerous species, but the most commonly considered "wasps" are the vespidae Family. Soem species are solitary, whereas others are eusocial, like bees, living in large colonies with one very fertile female and less fertile workers. Many are yellow and black, like this yellowajcket, and can be distinguished from bees by their slender waist, or petiole. The larvae of most species are carnivorous, often parasitising other insects. The adults, however, follow a diet of nectar and play a role in pollination.
