Why the World Should be Harnessing the Predatory Power of Wasps | Seirian Sumner

Social wasps are stigmatised by their seemingly aggressive behaviour and propensity to sting. “What’s the point of wasps?” people ask. Professor Seirian Sumner gives an overview of the ecosystem services provided by these much-maligned insects. She also unveils new insights into how agriculture can benefit from harnessing the predator power of wasps as natural enemies, as a form of biocontrol for some of the world’s most economically important crop pests. The Linnean Society works to inform, involve and inspire people of all ages about nature and its wider interactions through our collections, programmes and publications. Founded in 1788, the Society takes its name from the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778). https://www.linnean.org Follow us on social media:   / linneansociety     / linneansociety     / linneansociety
