 Like most digger wasps, adult females use their stingers to inject paralyzing venom into prey such as katydids and grasshoppers, then carry the still-living prey to their underground nest - eggs are laid on the prey insects (rather than inside as stated by the encyclopedia entry), providing a food source for the wasp larvae when they eventually hatch.

 ==Strategy==
 Black wasps are fast and can deal decent damage with their sting, giving black wasp swarms the ability to overwhelm an unprepared character. Most players entering the midgame should already have poison resistance and various means of dealing with large groups: an [[Elbereth]] engraved in dust can be enough to scatter the wasps, making it easier to isolate and kill them. Black wasps share the same glyph as the weaker [[yellow jacket]] or [[killer bee]] - be sure to [[far look]] any {{yellow|a}} you see via {{kbd|:}} (particularly if you have [[telepathy]]) so that you are not caught off guard.
