Paper Wasp and Nest | Insect life

Paper wasps are a group of wasps in the family Vespidae known for building nests out of a papery material they make by chewing wood fibers mixed with saliva.

Nest is made from wood pulp and saliva, giving a papery texture . The shape of the nest is open comb cells (like upside-down honeycomb) without an outer covering. Mostly common under eaves, tree branches, window frames, sheds, or other sheltered spots.

They act as a pollination by helping to pollinate flowers while feeding on nectar. They also pray garden pests like caterpillars and beetle larvae.

They are social insects and colonies are started by a few mated females in spring; one becomes the dominant queen. They feed on nectar, but also hunt caterpillars and other soft-bodied insects to feed larvae. Generally non-aggressive unless their nest is disturbed.
