    Group of insects

    A wasp is any insect of the narrow-waisted suborder Apocrita of the order Hymenoptera which is neither a bee nor an ant; this excludes the broad-waisted sawflies (Symphyta), which look somewhat like wasps, but are in a separate suborder. The wasps do not constitute a clade, a complete natural group with a single ancestor, as bees and ants are deeply nested within the wasps, having evolved from wasp ancestors. Wasps that are members of the clade Aculeata can sting their prey.

    The most commonly known wasps, such as yellowjackets and hornets, are in the family Vespidae and are eusocial, living together in a nest with an egg-laying queen and non-reproducing workers. Eusociality is favoured by the unusual haplodiploid system of sex determination in Hymenoptera, as it makes sisters exceptionally closely related to each other. However, the majority of wasp species are solitary, with each adult female living and breed

    W.A.S.P. (aka "Watch As Sinners Play") were part of the horror-shock, or gothic glam metal, en plats där en händelse inträffar ofta inom teater eller film of Los Angeles. Formed by New York Dolls' drummer Blackie Lawless (now on bass and vocals) and guitarist Chris Holmes. Their debut single, Animal (), was a föraning of their entire career: lots of scandal, but little substans. The songs on WASP (Capitol, ) were not musical events but lewd acts. Wild Child, from The gods Command (), and 95 Nasty, from Inside The Electric Circus () had already lost much of the early bite, and The Headless Children () showed a band with no direction. Holmes quit, and the WASP embarrassed themselves further on Crimson Idol ().

    Rock And Roll To Death was the late anthem from Still Not Black Enough (Castle, ), a solid (if not original) work. Killfuckdie (Castle, ) marked the return of Holmes to the ranks.
