These tiny critters have slim bodies, narrow waists, and are usually black or have bright warning colors. Their bodies can be shiny or dull, and they have wings which they use to dart through the air. And don't forget their stingers, those sharp little weapons they have at the end of their bodies.  \nSpeaking of their stingers, did you know they use them not just to protect themselves, but also to hunt? Wasps are carnivorous, which means they love to eat other insects and caterpillars. Sometimes, they even feed on nectar and fruit. When they're not hunting, wasps can be found in a variety of habitats, from forests to deserts, and even in human homes!  \nWhile we might not like finding them in our homes, wasps actually play a very important role in nature. They help control the population of other insects by hunting them for food. They are also pollinators, which means they help plants to produce fruit and seeds. But, of course, it's always important to be careful around them because their stings can really hurt!  \nDespite their stings, wasps are not just about defending themselves, they have a fascinating life too! A wasp's life begins as an egg, and after they hatch, they spend time as larvae before maturing into adults. Some wasps even have the ability to 'freeze' their development and wait for better weather before they grow up. So, while they might seem scary, remember that wasps are an essential part of our world and have their own interesting stories to tell.  \nSolve each problem.  \nUse the article to answer the question.  \n1) Where can you find a wasp's stinger?  \nA.
