Wasps are social insects and live together in large communities in a nest built by the workers. Each nest is made of many hexagonal cells made of paper. These nests can be found in different places, depending on the species and habitat, such as under a leaf, rock, or in-wall crevices. The queen wasp lays eggs in each cell and once they hatch the grubs are fed by worker wasps who regurgitate food through their mouths directly into the cell.
