Wasps
Wasps are flying insects that belong to the order Hymenoptera and the suborder Apocrita. They are known for their slender bodies, narrow waists, and distinctive black and yellow coloration. Wasps can be both solitary or social, with social wasps living in colonies that are typically led by a queen. They are important pollinators and predators in the ecosystem, but can also be considered pests due to their ability to sting when provoked.
