Yellow Rhapsody

An european Paper Wasp enjoying some nectar they love to sit on our old wooden balcony too and get some material for their nests

Paper Wasps are much more tolerant of people and minor disturbances than are hornets and german wasps & yellow jackets!

Be aware that this wasp is a excellent predator of many pest insects.

So, while they may be annoying at times they are probably doing your garden and landscape a lot of good!

I had first problems ID-ing her as I couldnt find wasps with that specific markings and the brown antennaes.
