Your photos are lovely, and the facts about them are much appreciated. <br />It's curious that you only saw males.

I didn't go into that ...You're right, Phil. I didn't go into that because so many species now are introduced. But it was first seen in 1978. Eaton, in the last link of this post, has a paragraph on the topic but I can't quote it because copying is not allowed. It is now very widespread over North America. There was concern that it would decimate our butterfly and moth populations. That doesn't seem to have happened. At least not by this wasp.Andreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159511912645034019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17830333.post-16485135773378067302022-10-01T08:14:54.330-04:002022-10-01T08:14:54.330-04:00https://extension.psu.edu/european-paper-wasp#:~:t...https://extension.psu.edu/european-paper-wasp#:~:text=A%20highly%20successful%20colonizer%2C%20the,introduction%20in%20the%20late%201970s.&text=Before%201981%2C%20the%20European%20paper,In%20its%20native%20region%2C%20P.Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17830333.post-34521618079800303882022-10-01T08:13:45.949-04:002022-10-01T08:13:45.949-04:00It's interesting that these are our common Eur...It's interesting that these are our common European Wasp.
