 The '''Sand Wasp''' is a giant insect [[beast]] native to the deserts of the [[Borderlands]]. Sand Wasps buzz around, attacking with a melee sting, but they can also launch a ranged attack, firing out a string of tiny glowing green wasps.

 This Sand Wasp is a fairly weak monster when dealt with one-on-one. They become dangerous in groups, or especially on a crowded screen, since they can fire out repeated sprays of miniature wasps. These glowing green bullets cruise straight across the screen at a slow speed, but with several wasps firing them at once they can become quite numerous and more than a nuisance.
 Depending on what other monsters appear, it might be a good idea to try and kill one or more of the wasps, to make sure you're not drained from constant baby-wasp barrage as you are fighting more important foes, like a [[Desert Dervish]].

 * Fire Mini-Wasp
 This is more an ability than a spell, since any Sand Wasp can do it numerous times, potentially launching dozens of tiny wasps, in bursts of four at a time. The mini-wasps aren't very damaging, but they can be quite numerous and very annoying and distracting to players who are locked up in combat with other enemies.
 Sand Wasps are very common through most of the surface levels in Act Two, but they seldom spawn in large groups, and no boss packs were seen in the [[BlizzCon 2009]] build. They did occur as Champions and solitary bosses, which were considerably more difficult than individual normal wasps.

-The sand wasps presumably dwell in the desert regions of [[Sanctuary]], where they await their prey. Their main attack seems to be the act of spitting baby wasps at the target. Whether or not they are aggressive towards humans is because of [[demon]]ic corruption, or just hunger is unknown.

 We have seen giant insects before, primarily in [[Diablo II]], Act III. Whether this desert wasp has anything to do with the jungle one remains to be seen.
 The [[Diablo I]] expansion (which is not quite canon) also had a multitude of insects, which could possibly be related.
