The dark paper wasp is a social wasp that lives across eastern North America, from southern Canada to Texas and Florida. It often builds its papery nest near people, especially where wood is easy to find. Only the females can sting, and they live in colonies with a clear pecking order.1

  • Slender body with a narrow waist between the chest and the abdomen1
  • About 15 to 21 mm long1
  • Northern females are mostly black all over, and may or may not have other markings1
  • Southern individuals often have yellow or brown and black markings on the face and abdomen, and the patterns vary a lot1
  • Males have darkened tips to their antennae1

Savens confundì cun: Southern individuals often have extra markings and can resemble wasps of other species. Northern females are usually almost entirely black, which can help tell them apart.1

Tge fa ses tissi?

Only the female has a venomous sting. The pain is commonly compared to being pricked with a large needle, such as a tattoo needle.1

Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?

Colony members defend the nest together, and the foundress is the most aggressive defender because she has the most invested in the colony.1

Sch'el piztga

  • Sgratta ora l'aguigl d'avieul e sfradenta il lieu.
  • Sche la persuna ha difficultads da respirar, unfladiras da la fatscha u da la gula, u sch'ella sa senta sco da svanir, è quai ina urgenza allergica: clama tes numer d'urgenza e duvra sia penna d'adrenalina, sch'ella ha ina.

Clama adina l'emprim tes numer d'urgenza (112, 000, 911). Quai è in cussegl general d'emprim agid, betg in cussegl medicinal. Basa da l'emprim agid

Resta en segirezza

  • Na tutga, na piglia e na tizza mai in animal selvadi, gnanc in pitschen, ed era sch'el para da durmir u d'esser mort.
  • Dà spazi a l'animal. Sche ti scuntras in, resta calm, va plaun enavos e lascha ir el per sia via.
  • Sch'in tal animal ta piztga: resta calm, na ta mova betg, clama tes numer d'urgenza (112, 000, 911) u va spert en in ospital. Ta regorda co ch'el veseva or, ina foto gida.

El n'ha betg quai sin tai. El dovra ses tissi per pigliar nutriment u per sa defender, e sa zuppa bler pli gugent. Dapli davart la segirezza

Fatgs

1

Non-resident wasps are often chased out of the nest within the first five minutes of entering it.1

2

Dominance in the colony depends on fertility, and wasps with larger or more developed ovaries usually rank higher.1

3

Another wasp species, Polistes dominula, has been displacing this species in many areas where it once dominated.1

4

A colony can contain well over 200 wasps.1
