How does a wasp hover?

Wasps hover by rapidly flapping their wings in a figure-eight motion, which generates lift and allows them to maintain a stable position in the air. Their strong flight muscles enable them to control wing movement precisely, adjusting the angle and speed to stay in place. This hovering ability is essential for activities like hunting, foraging, and defending their territory. Additionally, their lightweight bodies and aerodynamic shape contribute to their agility in flight.
