Wasps
All the many kinds of wasps are
closed relatives or the ants and bees. Wasps can be told form their relatives
by their slender waists. Like the ants and bees, they go through four stages in
thier lives. First, they are eggs, then worm like larvas, then pupas, and
finally grown up insects. Like many of their relatives, they can sting.
Some wasps live in colonies just as
honeybees do. The wasps in a colony work together. Some do one task and some
another. These wasps are called social wasps. The wasps that do not live in
colonies are called solitary wasps.
Paper
wasps and white-faced hornets builds their nets of paper. They make the paper
of chewed-up wood. Wasps made paper long before people did.
Each nest of a paper wasp or a
white-faced hornets is the home of the whole colony. In each colony there is a
queen that does all the egg-laying. Most of the other wasps in the colony are
workers. The story of every wasp colony is very much the same.
