The European paper wasp is a yellow and black social wasp that builds nests from chewed plant fibre mixed with saliva, which looks like grey paper. It lives in warm, temperate parts of Europe, North Africa and Asia, and it has spread to many other continents. It matters because it has become a common invasive species in North America.1

It eats many different types of insects, which is more varied than most Polistes wasps, and this gives it an advantage when food is scarce.1

Cara mengenalinya

Its body is coloured entirely yellow and black.1
The female's mandible (jaw) is black and sometimes has a yellow spot.1
The outer half of the antennae (feelers) is orange-yellow.1
Wings are about 8.5 to 13 mm long, with little variation between individuals.1
Males have curled antennae and no stinger.1

Sering dikelirukan dengan: Its yellow and black body is similar to that of Vespula germanica, one of the most common and defensive wasps in its native range. In older literature it was often confused with Polistes gallicus, which is now recognised as a separate species.1

berguna untuk diketahui

Fakta

Its colonies can include many unrelated wasps: about 35% of the wasps in a colony are unrelated, which is unusual for social insects.1

Males' abdominal spots vary in size, location and pattern, and they signal social rank within the colony.1

If the queen is removed from a nest, the second most dominant female takes over her role.1

In spring, some North American colonies have been seen with more than 80 wasps joining to reuse and expand an old nest.1

The first North American record was in Massachusetts in the late 1970s, and it had spread across the northeastern USA by 1995.1

Pemecah mitos

Mitos: The species name is sometimes spelled "dominulus", as authors wrongly assumed the name was an adjective.

Hakikat: Dominula is a noun meaning "little mistress", so under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature it does not change when the species moves genus.1
