Description
Known as the pollen wasps, Masaridae defy the aggressive hunter image often painted of their relatives. They exhibit an almost bee-like behavior, meticulously collecting pollen to feed their larvae. This fascinating adaptation not only challenges the common perception of wasps as mere predators but also highlights their ecological diversity and importance in pollination, roles typically reserved in public imagination for the more amiable bees.
