I was rereading the rulebook today and saw that, pg 52, all jump infantry get deep strike. Shouldn't this mean that vespid get deep strike even though it is not in their special rules? I'm pretty sure I would have heard of that before so I thought there might be some FAQ I've never seen for it. Am I wrong?

If they're Jump Infantry, they can Deep Strike - unless there's some other rule preventing it.

In forth edition when the codex came out they couldn't, 5th added the ability for all jump infantry to DS, giving them the ability to even though they don't have it listed.

They have the ability to do so due to the 5th rules.

You can deep strike the Vespid, but then you have to deal with the disadvantage of having Vespid in your army.
