  1. yep


  2. Each Fig species has an associated species of agaonid wasp to pollinate its flowers.

    The Bodhi Tree - Ficus religiosa - the small red flowers appear in February. The tree is dependant on its associated pollinator wasp, Blastophaga quadraticeps to set seed.

  3. Wasps generally do not collect pollen. In the early part of the season (spring, early summer) they consume large amounts of aphids, small caterpillars and other small soft bodied insects - many of them pests in the garden. In the later summer when the queen has stopped laying eggs in the nest there are many thousands of worker wasps with 'time on their hands' and it is around this time (August September) that wasps are on the look out for sweeter things like nectar, rotten fruit, maybe pollen and of course jam on picnic sandwiches!

  4. I don't think they do anything useful, do they? Little stripy b******s.

  5. I think wasps are carnivorous, smaller bugs, bees, caterpillars etc.

  6. no they dont  collect pollen they annoy
