Abstract
- Attracting wasps (safely) To invite wasps to your garden, "grow a diversity of native flowering plants", recommends biologist Heather Holm. "Despite their poor public image, wasps are incredibly important for the world's economy and ecosystems", writes University College London biologist and wasp champion Seirian Sumner in The Conversation. Because all wasp larvae are carnivorous, their parents must either hunt (as do about 30,000 of the world's more than 100,000 known wasp species) or lay their eggs on or in the body of another insect so larvae can consume the host after hatching (about 80,000 species).
