I have read that “secretions” (I am slightly nauseous thinking about what that may mean!) from this wasp are sold in Japan as an “energy & endurance” drink.

I’m not sure about that, but there lots of interesting edibles out here. A few years ago I ordered a can of wasp larva and and a jar of roasted grasshoppers from northern Japan. They are great rice toppings. I love eating strange food.
