Description
European Paper Wasp - Original Photography by Karol Livote
Inadvertently brought to North America sometime in or before the 1980's, the European Paper Wasp has since become a common species everywhere. Though it is exotic, its presence is actually considered a good control for problem insects though it tends to replace native species in many areas. Aside from disturbing the nest, this species is considered non-aggressive and does not seek out targets. It is capable of stinging, and will do just that if the nest is under threat. Otherwise, it is not likely to bother people, even at outdoor cookouts. People have actually set up nest boxes for this species in order to benefit from their insect management while removing worry about unknown nesting locations.
