Figs and fig wasps have a special relationship that is essential to their mutual survival. The fig provides a home for the wasp and the wasp provides the pollen that the fruit needs to ripen. The insect's life cycle begins when a tiny female wasp enters a fig and begins laying eggs inside it.
mutualism
The field digger wasp preys on flies, specifically targeting them as a food source for their larvae. The wasp paralyzes the fly, then lays its eggs on it before burying it underground. The hatched larvae then feed on the immobilized fly, ultimately benefiting from a reliable food supply while controlling fly populations.
The fly digger wasp, since the wasp eats the fly.
It f0331ng stings!
yes. every wasp does. wasps die after 22 days from their larve.
That depends on which wasp you are talking about. Yellowjackets and hornets and paper and potter and mason wasps and are in the family Vespidae, digger wasps, mud daubers, and most solitary wasps are in the family Sphecidae, and the little chunky sand wasps you see on a baseball field are in the family Crabronidae.
A gall wasp is flower
The lowly wasp certainly has its place in the food chain. Indeed, the question should possibly be,
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
Recently scientists found that a solitary ground-nesting wasp, the European beewolf wasp, harbors Streptomyces bacteria on its antennae and that the wasp uses these bacterial symbionts to protect the wasp larvae against pathogenic fungi.This would be a commensal relationship, where the wasps benefit, but the bacteria are not affected one way or the other.
none
Small wasp larvae are parasitoids of caterpillars, meaning they develop by feeding on caterpillars from the inside. The female wasp lays her eggs inside the caterpillar, and the hatched larvae consume the caterpillar's body tissues until they are ready to pupate. This relationship benefits the wasp by providing a food source and can be harmful to the caterpillar as it results in its eventual death.
