What animals eat wasps?

Answer by  earthlink (120)

Wasps may be eaten by birds, lizards, snakes, spiders or even other wasps! Recently parasitic wasps were found to be riding on much larger wasps and "going along for the ride", waiting until eggs were laid and laying their own eggs in the nest. When the larger was hatched it was attacked and eaten by the parasite.

Sruprisingly, the wasp has many natural predators. Other insects such as centipedes and spiders will eat wasps. Birds are another common predator. Badgers, stoats, weasels, and mice will actually attempt to destroy the wasp nest, cracking it apart to eat the baby wasps and the eggs inside. Lizzards have also been known to eat wasps.
