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

Paano ito makikilala
- Medium to large, about 16 to 22 mm long1
- Yellow and black stripes on the abdomen1
- Yellow clypeus (the face plate below the eyes) with a thin black central line1
- Large yellow areas behind the eyes1
- Shiny black thorax with four yellow spots that are tinted orange or red1
Madalas mapagkamalang: 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

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
