Ground Wasps

Two species of ground-dwelling wasps are explored: the burrowing wasp and the ammophila or digger wasp. Unlike some other wasps, these solitary insects do not live in communal hives. These wasps make nests in small holes in the ground for each individual egg and then provide for the young larva by hunting for food. Also, see how a parasitic wasp can take advantage of this situation.
