Have a search for Karols threads, she has posted some excellent info about wasps. I only read them yesterday. I think it's the wasp bane thread.

Sadly, nothing that causes them harm ... they are more or less bulletproof ! That is until some silly sod finds a microbe in the Amazon basin that kills mega wasps and introduces it into the rest of the world as a wasp eradicator ...

Before discovering that it kills every single other insect . . . as well as sheep, cows and birds whilst spreading new diseases.

Found once, on a larva in Poland jn 1988. See link 10 to this article. http://eol.org/pages/1032844/details#cite_note-10
It would be a clever switch fo VD to make, but the VV lifecycle is a pretty good defence for now.
