Except:

a. The victims and the heroes were (mostly) white too.

b. The literal villainous wasps were trying to convert their victims. Metaphorical villainous w.a.s.p.s are not interested in mixing with theirs.

You're reading too much into it. The monsters could've been ladybugs or butterflies, but wasps are scarier, deadlier, and more freaky-looking.
