Abstract
When you hear the word “wasp”, you probably imagine a stripey yellow-and-black insect that you see flying about at your summer picnic. You would be right! But there is much more to wasps than you think, and they are not out to get you. There are probably more types of wasp than any other type of insect on the planet, and they all go about their lives in different, fascinating ways. Most wasps do not even have stingers, and live alone rather than in a large group. We will take you on a tour through the diversity of behaviors and life histories that wasps show, why scientists are interested in them, and why you should care about wasps, too.
