There are male wasps (drones) and female wasps (queen and workers).
Most wasps you see will be female workers. The drone (male) is usually larger than a worker, is more brightly coloured, has long, drooping antennae, and has no sting.
Drone is a male insect. With bees and wasps, the queens and workers are all female.
In general, girl wasps tend to be bigger than boy wasps mainly in the abdomen, due to the female wasps needing to carry eggs. Girl wasps are also the only ones who can actually sting and have a stinger compared to boy wasps which lack one, though boy wasps will still try to sting.
The same as in any species: the males are there to fertilize the females.
Male and female cicada killer wasps differ in behavior and physical characteristics. Females are larger and have stingers for hunting and defending their nests, while males are smaller and lack stingers. Females are responsible for hunting cicadas to feed their offspring, while males focus on mating and defending their territory.

Yes. The sting in wasps and bees is a modified ovipositor, an organ that only females have.
Figs reproduce through a unique symbiotic relationship with fig wasps. The female fig wasp enters a fig through a small opening, lays her eggs inside the fig's flowers, and pollinates the flowers in the process. Once the larvae develop, they emerge as adults, and the male wasps mate with the females and then die inside the fig. The fertilized female wasps then leave the fig to find new figs in which to lay their eggs, continuing the cycle.
The relationship between wasps and orchids is often a form of mutualism, specifically involving pollination. Certain orchids, like those in the genus Ophrys, mimic the appearance and scent of female wasps to attract male wasps. When the male attempts to mate with the flower, he inadvertently picks up pollen, which he can then transfer to another orchid, facilitating reproduction for the plant. While the orchid benefits from pollination, the wasp does not gain any direct benefit from this interaction.
There are nearly 300 types of wasps worldwide. The most common of these include: * Fig wasps - agaonidae * Cuckoo wasps - Chrysididae * Sand wasps (Cicada killer wasp) - Crabronidae * Gall wasps - Cynipidae * Velvet ants - (mutillidae * Fairyflies - Mymaridae * Spider wasps - Pompilidae * Digger wasps - Sphecidae * Flower wasps - Tiphiidae * Honets - Vaspidae * Paper wasps * Pollen wasps * Yellowjackets
sexuality is not binary (male/female) it is a wide continuous spectrum from male (psyche) with male parts (anatomy) over male with female parts to female with male parts and female with female parts and even male & female psyches with male and female anatomy!
