The Western Paper Wasp is a friendly-looking insect that builds nests out of paper-like material. They are usually yellow and black and can be found buzzing around flowers and gardens.
生息地: Urban areas
The Western Paper Wasp is a slender wasp, primarily reddish-brown to black, marked with bright yellow stripes on its abdomen and a yellow face. Its long legs dangle visibly when in flight, and its wings are smoky brown, often appearing translucent. This coloring helps distinguish it from more robust, extensively yellow yellowjackets.
