A new boss monster, intended for a 3rd level party. I'm going to have to put this into play very quickly, it looks like, so I'd appreciate some comments. 
Sorry for the trouble.

Special Attacks: Poison
Special Qualities: Darkvision 60 ft., cloak, wing blast, spells, vulnerability to fire.
Saves: Fort +4, Ref +5, Will +6

Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 15, initial and secondary damage 1d6 Dex. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Cloak (Su): The stealth wasp can use the spell invisibility (self only) as a move-equivalent action. The stealth wasp cannot turn itself invisible in the same round it attacks.
Wing Blast (Su): Twice per day, by moving its wings rapidly, the stealth wasp can mimic the effect of a gust of wind spell, as if cast by a 5th level druid (DC 13). Using this ability counts as an attack for the purposes of the stealth wasp’s cloak ability.
Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day – cure light wounds, as if by a 5th level druid (self only; 1d8+5).
Skills
Giant wasps have a +8 racial bonus on Spot checks. *They also have a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks to orient themselves.
Edit: typo. Had wrong saves down.
