| This is the wasp which we mostly
come into contact with depending where you live. In the picture
above, the wasp on the left is the male, the one in the middle
the queen and on the right is the worker. Different species
of wasp can be identified by their mask, ( shown above the
queen in the picture above ), and the markings on their abdomen.
The face usually has an anchor mark and the malar space (the
distance between the eye and the jaw) is very short. Antennae
are black at the base. Thoracic stripes are parallel sided.
Four yellow spots at the rear of the thorax. Nests in holes
in the ground and buildings; paper yellowish and formed into
shell like plates on the outside. |
