Common Wasp (Paravespula vulgaris)

The common wasp feeds primarily on various plant juices, while the brood is fed with animal protein. The queen begins building the nest in late March or early April in a dark environment, such as shutter boxes or attics. On average, the number of insects in a nest is 3,000–4,000, though larger colonies can consist of up to 10,000 animals. The common wasp is considered a nuisance pest, but its sting can be fatal for allergy sufferers.
