Wasp

Wasps are insects that belong to the order Hymenoptera and suborder Apocrita.

Wasps can live in almost any environment around the world, except for the polar regions.

They are divided into two groups: social wasps and solitary wasps.

Social wasps live in colonies and build their nests in soil, barks, roof spaces, or cavities in trees and walls.

Social wasps include common wasps, paper wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets.

Solitary wasps live alone and dig tunnels in the ground or use existing holes to create their nests, which they provision with paralyzed insects or spiders.

Solitary wasps include potter wasps, cicada killer wasps, and mud dauber wasps.
