I can't answer that question exactly but what I can say is ants eat wasps they will eat anything for the nest. I only know this to be true as on holiday a wasp was annoying me constantly so I hit it when I came back from the beach I found the dead wasp on the floor with ants inside of its abdomen eating it and taking parts of it to the nest.

Wasps will eat nectar, but they do not eat flowers. Some species of wasps will chew up flower leaves to use to make their nests.

No, wasps do not eat each other. They tend to eat other insects such as houseflies and bow flies as well as nectar and pollen.
