==Background==
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.
==Previous Appearances==
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.
==Development==
The Sand Wasp was first seen at the [[GamesCom 2009 demo]] and shortly after that at [[BlizzCon 2009]]. The inspiration for this enemy was old time arcade games, where you need to dodge bullets from opposing ships.
