Wasp
Fear and fascination set wasps apart from other insects.Despite their iconic form and distinctive colours, they are surrounded by myth and misunderstanding.Often portrayed in cartoon-like stereotypes bordering on sad parody, wasps have an unwelcome and undeserved reputation for aggressiveness bordering on vindictive spite.This mistrust is deep-seated in a human history that has awarded commercial and spiritual value to other insects, such as bees, but has failed to recognize any worth in wasps. Leading entomologist Richard Jones redresses the balance in this enlightening and entertaining guide to the natural and cultural history of these powerful carnivores.Jones delves into their complex nesting and colony behavior, their unique caste system and their major role at the centre of many food webs.Drawing on up-to-date scientific concepts and featuring many striking colour illustrations, Jones successfully shows exactly why wasps are worthy of greater understanding and appreciation.

What is a wasp larva and a wasp queen?
A wasp larva is the immature stage of a wasp, which hatches from an egg laid by the queen. The larva is usually white and grub-like in appearance, and it feeds on other insects or nectar brought to it by worker wasps. A wasp queen is the reproductive female in a wasp colony. She is responsible for laying eggs, which will develop into more workers, drones, or future queens. The queen is typically larger than the other wasps in the colony and has a distinct role in maintaining the social structure and reproductive success of the colony.

Why is a parasitic wasp called a parasitic wasp?
A parasitic wasp is called a parasitic wasp because it lays its eggs inside or on the body of another insect, which serves as the host for the developing wasp larvae. The larvae then feed on the host insect, eventually killing it. This behavior is considered parasitic because the wasp benefits at the expense of the host, using it as a source of food and shelter for its offspring. This strategy is a common reproductive strategy among certain species of wasps.
