∙ 15y agoMost wasp species are predators. Their function is in the control of many other insect species. Many crop pests including horn worms and scale insects which cost millions of pounds in annually controlled by wasps. Without these predators, tomatoes, Oranges, tobacco, and many other important crops would be so scarce that the price of them would skyrocket. Their method of efficiency is that they will lay one egg on the back of a caterpillar, the egg multiplies itself, producing hundreds of larvae. These larvae hatch and kill the caterpillar. Once development completed, the newly formed wasps will emerge and go out in search of their own caterpillar to deposit eggs on.
