No. Wasps are insects and do not have a backbone.

No,

Humans have bone skeletons on the inside with all our soft bits on the outside surrounded by a soft skin. However, in insects the skeleton is an external, hard exoskeleton which provides support for the animal contents and muscles and protection against water loss.

The exoskeleton of insects doesn't grow with them, so they have to moult (shed their skin) to grow. They only do this when they are young, and cease to moult once they become an adult.

If by 'spine' you mean a backbone, the answer is no. Wasps are invertebrates, which means they don't have a vertebral column, or backbone. In fact they don't have any bones at all. Their skeleton is their hard outer coating, called an exoskeleton.

No. Their hard outer casing is their exoskeleton.

Insects do not have bones, or what is called an endoskeleton. The hard shell, or exoskeleton, of an insect works the same as put skeleton.
