I'm not sure 'help' is necessarily the right word: wasps will capture caterpillars and feed them to their larvae.
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.
The average wasp is actually a parasite that helps control unwanted insects such as spiders, flies and garden pests. Rather than calling for removal, eco-friendly farmers capitalize on their usefulness and oftentimes import these insects as bio-control agents for naturally occurring pests that have the power to threaten an entire harvest. It is also important to identify the "dangerous" insect correctly. Not all wasps are aggressive, and most, if left alone pose no imminent danger to anyone.
i think they can because if you go near there nest they think you are going to hurt them
Community Answer 1Adult paper wasps either drink nectar or catch caterpillars and drink the caterpillar's blood, or hemolymph. Then the adult wasp flies back to the nest and regurgitates (throws up) the nectar or blood into the mouths of young (larval) wasps or other adult wasps. After the young wasps are full, they produce a saliva (or spit) which is fifty times more nutritious than nectar. The adult wasps drink this saliva from the mouths of the young wasps.____________________________________________________________Community Answer 2Wasps eat other living bugs like, ants, flies and caterpillars, if their able to catch with fast reflexes they will eat butterflies. They will also make honey with pollen and they will eat the honey afterwards.
Wasps do not collect other dead wasps. However, if a wasp is injured, it will emit a special pheromone that will warn other wasps that there is danger nearby. Sometimes other wasps will come to see what that danger might be.

1) Where do caterpillar wasps lay their eggs? 1) Where do caterpillar wasps lay their eggs? Caterpillar wasps lay their eggs on the inside of caterpillars. when a caterpillar takes a bite out of the leaf, the plants lets off a smell or signal to tell any caterpillar wasps nearby that a caterpillar is on them. the wasp then injects its eggs into the caterpillar, the eggs grow and eats the caterpillar, then once the caterpillar is dead, the wasps grow up and fly out to start the process again.
I think wasps, prayingmantas, spiders and sometimes if a caterpillar's pupa is clumsy then the ants eat it.
Caterpillar predators include bees, wasps, and lizards (lizards eat butterflies and their eggs) Insect eating animals such as birds.
They find a caterpillar, paralyze ir, dig a hole in the ground, drag the caterpillar in the hole, lay an egg, close the hole. When the egg hatches it has plenty of food - the caterpillar.
I think the caterpillar is prey. For it is small.
I think a caterpillar is 3 inches long, or 4.
I Think That All Of Them Do Have Stingers
Depending on the type of caterpillar, you may not want to get rid of it. It could be a butterfly caterpillar. If it is definitely a pest caterpillar, they sell a something you can put on your plants, bacilus thuringesis (I could be way off on the spelling, but it is often abbbreviated BT) that will kill them, or if you have any wasps or birds around, they may take care of it for you. Unfortunately, I have the opposite problem, the wasps in my yard are eating every caterpillar in sight, unfortunately that includes my monarch and gulf frittilary caterpillars. I am having to rear the monarchs in containers so they don't get wiped out completely.
i THINK iT IS BY THE SPIRACLES
i dont think anyone does
No I dont think so...........
