What is a "wasp"?

A wasp is an insect characterized by its slender body, narrow waist, and two pairs of wings. They are known for their stinging ability and can vary in size, shape, and color depending on the species. Wasps are social insects and often build nests, where they live and raise their offspring. While some species are beneficial as they prey on other insects, others can be pests and pose a threat to humans due to their stings.
