Buzzing into Boston - European Paper Wasps Take Over the City, One Nest at a Time!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by John Cancalosi, we get a glimpse of the notorious CAN-2126 European Paper Wasps in action. These feisty females were introduced to the Boston area all the way from central Europe back in the 1980s and have since spread their wings coast to coast across the United States. With their striking open combs nests and primitive eusocial behavior, these invasive insects are causing quite a buzz as they displace native species throughout North America. Known for their carnivorous diet, these wasps feast on caterpillars like true insect warriors. But it's not just their hunting skills that make them stand out - males sport curved antennae while females flaunt straight ones. Talk about fashion-forward! Captured in this snapshot is an entire group of these audacious wasps diligently tending to their nest. It's truly fascinating how such tiny creatures can create such intricate homes. So next time you spot one of these buzzing beauties around your neighborhood, remember that they're not just any ordinary wasp - they're part of an ecological tale unfolding right before our eyes. And thanks to talented photographers like John Cancalosi, we can appreciate both their beauty and impact on our environment without getting too close for comfort!
