Appearance

Lifecycle

Young Queens overwinter and emerge in the spring to start nest building and lay eggs. Workers (sterile females) emerge during early summer and take over nest building. Queen continues to lay eggs. New queens and males mate in early autumn. Nest dies during winter, including all the males and workers. Only Queens survive to the next year.

Wasps are a problem in food production, storage and consumption areas in the same ways as other flying insects. Wasps also bring an added danger by being armed with venomous stings that are painful to all and very dangerous to a few.
