The Wasp Power Animal

Hello friends and welcome to the world of power animals. Today we’ll look at the wasp. Did you know there are over 100,000 species of wasps in the world and they have been around for almost 150 million years? They come in a large variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, all with uniquely different behaviors. The 5 major categories include the paper wasp, the yellowjacket, the bald-faced hornet, the European hornet, and the Asian giant hornet. Wasps have a smooth exoskeleton, 6 legs, transparent wings, and a pair of antennae. Most wasps are solitary with the minority being social. The highly organized social wasps live together in different kinds of nests with an egg-laying queen and non-reproducing workers. In the spring, the queen builds the nest, lays the eggs, and feeds her growing larvae with other insects. A wasp community will strongly defend their nest when aroused and will attack anyone it perceives as a threat.

The wasp is strongly linked with fertility, organization, and protection. They are determined and know how to navigate challenges to overcome obstacles. They’re goal-oriented and don’t allow anything to get in their way. Wasps are hard workers who will do whatever it takes to get the job done. They have a unique place in the ecosystem to control pests, pollinate plants, and provide sustenance for other animals.

The wasp symbolizes solitude, freedom, and productivity. Call on their spirit when you want to organize and protect yourself better.
