Median wasp
The median wasp is a social wasp that lives across Europe and temperate Asia, as far east as Japan. It builds hanging paper nests in shrubs and trees, and sometimes under the eaves of buildings. It is usually calm, but it will sting if its nest is threatened.1

- Medium to large, about 16 to 22 mm long1

Yeroo baay'ee kan itti wal fakkeessan: Queens are often mistaken for hornets because of their reddish colouring. They can be told apart by the yellow spots on the thorax and their deep black colour.1

Balaa namootaaf: Ni dhukkubsaBaay'ee dhukkubsuu danda'a, garuu gonkumaa jechuun ni danda'ama cimaa hin ta'u.The median wasp is not usually aggressive. It will sting if it feels its nest is threatened, so keep well away from nests.1
Yeroo sodaatu maal godha?
A disturbed wasp first places its head at the nest entrance in an alert position, then flies quickly around the nest and may drop suddenly to the ground.1

Dhugaawwan
Sisters share 0.75 of their genes by descent, which is higher than the 0.5 shared between full siblings, because of how sex is determined in this order of insects.1
The queen curls her body around the nest's central stalk, which is thought to help keep eggs and larvae warm.1
Workers sometimes police the nest, with the queen or other workers destroying eggs laid by other workers.1
Workers can forage at temperatures as low as 7 °C (45 °F).1
Its nests are made of paper pulp produced by chewing and digesting wood.1
