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.

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.

This relationship benefits the wasp by providing a food source and can be harmful to the caterpillar as it results in its eventual death.
