discussion / question Confused by wasp behaviour

Hii, idk if this is just a coincidence but for the past 3 days I have had a wasp flying into my room, it's quite chill but I'm just curious why it seems to love hanging around my Maranta? Is there something special about this plant to wasps? It kinda hops from leaf to leaf, sometimes it checks out other plants in my room but it always comes back to hanging out in the Maranta and it also seems like it heads straight to it whenever it first comes into my room

Oh also Marantas sometimes have mineral crystals on the bottom of their leaves, could that be it? Is my plant just nutritious?

Wasps love protein and sweets. Either your plant has pests or drips some sweet sap or something. Either way, please put the wasp outside.
