EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by John Cancalosi, we witness a fascinating invasion of elegant yet formidable females from central Europe. These audacious European Paper Wasps, known as CAN-2272, made their grand entrance to the Boston area in the 1980s and have since spread their wings coast to coast across the United States. With their striking nests resembling open combs, these primitive eusocial wasps have established themselves as true conquerors of nature's domain. Their annual life cycle ensures that they live each day to its fullest, making them quite the party animals! Feasting on caterpillars like carnivorous connoisseurs, these ladies are always ready for a scrumptious meal. But it's not just their dining habits that set them apart – males sport uniquely curved antennae while females flaunt straight ones with pride. Nowhere is safe from these buzzing beauties! Even New York City has fallen under their spell. As they diligently work together at their bustling nest, one can't help but admire their unwavering determination and teamwork. While some may frown upon introduced species disrupting native ecosystems, there's no denying that these European Paper Wasps bring an air of exotic charm wherever they go.
