What do wasp larvae eat?
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.

What does the Shiny Black Wasp do?
The Shiny Black Wasp is a parasitic wasp that helps control pest populations such as caterpillars and beetle larvae by laying its eggs inside them. When the eggs hatch, the wasp larvae consume the host from the inside, eventually killing it.
Relationship between the larvae of small wasps and caterpillars?
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.
Why are parasitic wasps important?
Wasps are really a gardener's friend because they kill a lot of garden pests to feed to their larvae. The wasp then feeds on a sugary substance produced by the larvae. Towards the end of the summer the wasps stop laying eggs and raising larvae, so they lose their source of food. They have to find an alternative and this is when they start feeding on the sugars in over-ripe fruit. This is the time when wasp and man come into closest contact and people see wasps as a nuisance.
