Description:

A wasp is any insect of the order Hymenoptera and suborder Apocrita that is neither a bee nor an ant

Habitat:

The majority of wasp species (well over 100,000 species) are "parasitic" (technically known as parasitoids), and the ovipositor is used simply to lay eggs, often directly into the body of the host.

Notes:

The various species of wasps fall into one of two main categories: solitary wasps and social wasps.
