There are hundreds of thousands of species of wasps in the world, with Australia being home to thousands of native species of wasps. Like bees, they play a critical role in the environment. Whilst some wasps feed on nectar (aiding in plant pollination), equally as important are those whose roles are as predators and parasites, whose larvae feed on caterpillars, spiders, and many other insects.
