Wasps are nature’s pollinators and pest controllers, unsung custodians and bouncers of earth’s ecosystems. They are the bee’s evolutionary ancestors – flying 100 million years earlier – and today they are just as essential for the survival of our planet. Inside their sophisticated social worlds are lively soap operas and the evolutionary secrets to altruism and sociality. Their bodies are untapped medicine cabinets, packed with antibiotics, neurotoxins and a possible cure for cancer. The closer you look at wasps, the more you see. Discover their hidden secrets through their endless forms and incredible lives.
