Paper Wasp on Its Nest

It's been great to get in touch again with such a sting insect. Yep! Paper wasp, a common wasp that used to be seen flying in the bush. It appears this wasp gets its name from the paper-like material that it constructs the nest with. It is also recognized as an umbrella wasp, referring to the shape of its nest. In a certain situation, the paper wasp is usually a non-aggressive stinging insect so we don't have to worry about the sting. The paper wasp or umbrella wasp as you may call is considered nationwide distribution species, making it known better than other wasps. Like other wasps, the paper wasp is semi-social, existing in small colonies but without a true worker caste. The adult paper wasps mostly predators on caterpillars by carrying the prey back to the nest and feeding them to the developing larvae.
