It's not a world photo, but that's not the point.
If you look closely at a Wasp you will see three dots on top of their heads.
Do you know what the three dots on the head of a wasp are for?
The three dots are extra eyes (ocelli).
This allows them to distinguish light and dark and probably also help with orientation.
