The wind here is gusting at 18-25 knots today. The wasps flying to and from the nest next to my window are flying as usual. Even in the strongest gusts they fly straight in. I can spot them from about 10 meters away and they seem to fly without deviation. It's a marvellous thing to behold
Diet
Generally wasps are parasites or parasitoids as larvae, and feed only on nectar as adults. Many wasps are predatory, using other insects (often paralyzed) as food for their larvae. A few social wasps are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of fallen fruit, nectar, and carrion. Some of these social wasps, such as yellowjackets, may scavenge for dead insects to provide for their young. In many social species the larvae provide sweet secretions that are fed to the adults.
In parasitic species, the first meals are almost always provided by the animal that the adult wasp used as a host for its young. Adult male wasps sometimes visit flowers to obtain nectar to feed on in much the same manner as honey bees. Occasionally, some species, such asyellowjackets and, especially, hornets, invade honey bee nests and steal honey and/or brood.

im not sure if a digger wasp is the same thing as just a wasp lol , but i came here to ask the same question because a few minutes ago i was cleaning the dishes when i noticed a wasp and fly stuck together at first i taught it was to wasps mating but then i seen the fly drop to the window ledge an bearly able to move im thinking the wasp was trying to drink its blood like it does with caterpillars or maybe it was stinging the fly
