Wasp Eggs
Wasp eggs are whitish in color and look like small grains of rice. In the spring, the queen wasp wakes up from hibernation and builds a honeycomb-like cell structure out of wood fiber.
- The queen then lays a single egg in each cell of the new nest.
- The queen wasp can lay up to 300 eggs per day.
- The eggs are white and oval-shaped.
- The egg hatches into a larva in 5‒8 days.
- The larvae feed on regurgitated insects and nectar.
- The larvae spin cocoons and pupate after about 2 weeks.
- The pupae emerge as adult wasps after about 2 weeks.
Wasp Life Cycle
The Wasps Life Cycle consists of four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The queen wasp lays eggs in a nest that she has built herself. The eggs hatch into larvae, which eat the food provided by their mother. After this stage, they become pupae and then emerge as adults, completing the cycle essential for the continuation of their species. The life cycle of a wasp takes about 40 to 60 days. In this article, we will learn about Life cycle stages, diagrams, and the role of wasps in a colony.
