Can a Wasp Resurrect After Freezing?

[username]

I heard if you put a wasp quickly in a freezer then thaw it some time later, it comes bacl to life. I am guessing the wasp would on average live as long as it would if it had not been frozen?

Wouldn't know. Try searching for it on the internet www.google.com.

It is highly unlikely that a wasp can resurrect after being frozen. Insects, including wasps, are ectothermic organisms, meaning their body temperature is regulated by their surroundings. When exposed to extremely low temperatures, their bodily functions slow down and eventually cease, leading to death. Freezing a wasp would cause irreversible damage to its bodily systems, making it impossible for it to come back to life. While some insects, such as certain species of beetles, have the ability to survive freezing temperatures by producing a type of antifreeze in their bodies, this is not the case for wasps. Therefore, it is safe to say that a wasp cannot be resurrected after being frozen.
