what eats wasps?

Answer 1

Chinese.

Answer 2

Just to make a small point - there are plenty of spiders that won't eat wasps - presumably because they are so dangerous (strong and with a potent sting). Many spiders try to avoid wasps, since there are a number of wasps that catch spiders. Many orb-web spinners will actually cut a wasp out of their web rather than try to subdue it. Bees, on the other hand, are almost always eaten with enthusiasm by spiders. Them's good eatin'

Answer 3

Fraid Jim is wrong in that a dead wasp can sting. We have bee-eaters which catch wasps and bees in flight then wipe the sting on a branch and squeeze the venom out before swallowing the bee/wasp. We have also watched spiders catch a wasp in their web and cocoon it for later eating. As said, there are a few predators including other wasps and reptiles too. Our lizards and geckos tend to go more for mossies and lacewings in the evening and they get well fed there.

Answer 4

Lots of other animals. Many insects, there are very ferocious predatory wasp on wasp, some species of wasp eat the eggs of other wasp. There are several spiders that eat wasp. Many lizards, some toads and some frogs. Many birds. A few mammals.

The thing is that these predators know how to catch the wasp so it does not sting. Most will crush the wasp before swallowing it. Dead wasp wont sting.

Answer 5

Lesser Spotted Wasp Eater.

Answer 6

Common wasp nests are subject to predation by the Honey Buzzard, which excavates them to obtain the larva. As the wasps have a tendency to build nests near houses, and are defensive of their hive and sting whoever comes near, they are often exterminated by humans. The Hoverfly Volucella pellucens and some of its relatives lay their eggs in a wasp nest and their larvae feed on the wasps’ young and dead adults. Spiders are yet another predator of the species.

Answer 7

I like wasps. I watch them hunt spiders. Big ones. I think birds eat wasps. I know spiders eat flies. Hey... I know an old woman who swallowed a fly?

Answer 8

Amphibians, reptiles, and birds. I saw a snake once that just hung around this bee nest in a low tree and gobbled um up as fast as it could. It got run over and when I saw how many it had in it's gut, I was amazed. It wasn't bothered at all by the stings it seems.

Answer 9

Other wasps, for one thing! Several birds, Spiders, carniverous plants et al.
