Hello! I hope you enjoy this nonfiction book. Wasps (Vespidae) are part of genus Hymenoptera in Insects (Class Insecta). Vespidae is a member of Hymenoptera that is not a bee, nor an ant. Wasps prey on different insects and also prey on spiders (Part of Euchelicerata). The most common (social) wasps you will see in spring/summer in the US are European Hornet, (Vespa Crabro). Any wasp under Vespula (Yellowjackets) and Polistes wasps (Paper Wasp). Unlike bees, wasps do not forage on flowers. They only will accidentally land on plants, and pollinate them. Humans are shown to give a completely irrational hate/fear towards them.
