Wasps

Does anyone know what benefit wasps provide to the ecosystem?

More bird food. Now, what good are birds?

Like chicken, probably. Or in the case of your local "El Polo Loco", like pigeon.

The ultimate "what use is a" has to be a mosquito!

It kills more humans than any other critter.

The ultimate answer to your question is they are part of the food chain. They kill a lot of other insects and they are bird food as mentioned.

Fine specimens are a challenging hunt and expensive if you have to purchase them. They taste good when properly cleaned.

Can be baited with mink fur, cowhide, or shiny things.

The barn Wasps here scare the ***** out of me, make me do the stupid dog dance when they launch out at me from crevices...and that makes the baby Jesus smile.

The circle of life.

Mosquitos are dragonfly food. Bats and purple martins eat 'em too, but they don't need 'em to survive.

Mosquitos also help keep us humans from over populating the planet and help keep insect repellent manufacturers in bidness.
