THE WASP. [_Page 102._


1. A wasp is a very pretty insect, black and yellow in colour. There are
several kinds. Some burrow in the ground and make their nests there.
Others build their nests in trees.

2. Wasps live together in large numbers. They are very busy. Some lay
eggs; some are masons, and build the nest; others are soldiers, and
guard the home; whilst others carry away all the rubbish, and keep
everything clean and tidy.

3. The wasp's sting has poison in it. This is why it gives us such pain
if we get stung.

4. The wasp is something like the fly in shape, only much larger. It
preys upon other insects.
