- The tarantula hawk wasp is the world's
largest wasp. The female catches tarantulas and stuns them with
her sting. She puts the tarantula in her burrow to lay her eggs
on. When the baby wasp hatches, it has a tasty meal.

- Each spring a leader of a European
wasp colony, called the queen, starts a new nest where she lays
her eggs. She uses 'paper' which she makes by chopping up wood.
She makes individual cells for the eggs and builds protective
layers around the outside.
