Well yes, WASP is an American term, but this board is international and known for thread-drift.... and I rarely hear the term wasp used here (in Midwestern USA) to describe the yellow and black stinging insects. they call everything answering that description a bee. Occasionally a hornet. But mostly bees. *shrug* I gave up on that years ago.
