Wasp larvae eat the insects that the adult wasps fetch for them.
Adults will go out, catch insects and either chew them there and then or take them back to the nest, butcher them and feed them to the young wasp larvae.
In return, the wasps larvae then secrete a sugary solution with 500% more energy than the insects alone. This is what the adults feed upon.
