Organizations recently legally challenged the California Department of Pesticide Regulation to close a loophole allowing for unregulated sale and use of seeds pretreated with pesticides. Each pesticide-coated seed is toxic enough to kill thousands of bees. xerces.org/blog/will-califor…

Yellowjackets often snack on human food, which creates conflict. Despite their stinging reputation, these wasps are still important! Adults control pests by hunting insects like flies and caterpillars for their young to eat. Learn how to coexist in peace: xerces.org/blog/wasp-world

It’s still wasp season! Paper wasps are commonly seen building their open, papery nests in residential areas. They are not aggressive but will sting if necessary. Adult wasps eat nectar & pollen from flowers, while hunting caterpillars to feed their young. xerces.org/blog/wasp-world

Parasitoid wasps are generally tiny and vary in shape. They control pest insects and can’t sting you! Females lay eggs on/inside their arthropod hosts, where they hatch and slowly feed on the host. There are hundreds of thousands of species! Read more: xerces.org/blog/wasp-world
