Wasps and hornets? They are nothing but a gigantic pain in the butt. Please---NO "God works in mysterious ways" or---They keep the mosquito population down...because that would lead to the question...why did God create mosquitoes....

Most wasp species are predators. Their function is in the control of many other insect species. They are actually very effective parasitoids, and because of this efficiency they have been used for decades as biological control agents. Many crop pests including hornworms and scale insects which cost millions of dollars in loss annulally are controled 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, and throught the process of polyembrony, the egg multiplies itself, producing hundreds of larvae. These larvae hatch, kill the caterpillar, and pupate. Once development is compltete, the newly formed wasps will emerge and go out in search of their own caterpillar to deposit eggs on. After a year, there are millions of these wasps and they are naturally able to control the number of potentially devastating pest species.
In nature, most moths and beetles have some species of wasp that is their specific parasitoid. Without these parasitoids, longhorn beetles would reduce the forest to sawdust and caterpillars would strip every leaf off of every plant they can find. Wasps act to control theri numbers, and keep a balance between the pests and the hosts.
Certain wasps, like yellow jackets (the ones by the picnic table) are actually pollinators and ensure the survival of many plant species, just like their very close relatives, the bees.

Well, i absolutely agree with u. Maybe God created mosquitoes by mistake OR God created them to control our population by sreading diseases. But whatever be the reason, mosquitoes are a big PAIN IN THE BUTT!!!!!!!

When God created the Earth, He created all things good. Man was given every herb bearing seed and every tree in which it's fruit yielded seed. Animals were given every green herb for food.
When Adam and Eve sinned, it corrupted the earth and the habits of man and animals changed for the bad.
Before the fall Adam and Eve could walk among any animal without harm, but after wards that changed.

No one really knows; we can just speculate and theorize. Maybe they were created to sustain some balance. Maybe mosquitoes and insect did not exist before the plagues brought by God and duplicated by Satan in Egypt. Maybe it was Satan. It is up to you. Right now I am just concentrated in the Kingdom of God; the rest of my questions would be answered in due time.

Without wasps and hornets, we would have that many less sources for sport team mascots. And we all know that God is personally invested in every sports game that ever occurs.

I like OJH-Joker's response, better give him best answer!
I think you might as well ask Why did God create in the first place? or How did evolution result in so many different species in so little time? To me - it is not about "God's mysterious ways" as you suggest, and more about the awesome evidence of Him in His creation!

wasps and hornets are not a threat to the survival of the Earth, humans are doing a pretty good job destroying our planet. So, why did god create humans ?
Why do you address your question to Christians only ? Jews and Moslems are not bothered by them ?

If you read the Bible you will find that in the second chapter it tells you that this life is a curse that we should suffer and toil.
How do you suffer or toil if only friendly things are about. Silly atheist, tricks are for Satan. Say hello to your father for me and tell him to get you a helmet to prevent all of those bruises on your head.
