Can wasps be pollinators? Yes! While wasps are primarily predators or parasitoids, they also like nectar and pollen. When they visit flowers, they pick up pollen that can transfer to the next flower of the same species they visit...which is pollination!

This non-aggressive insect is a blue-winged wasp which is a common scoliid wasp. It's larvae eat grubs, including Japanese beetles.
