EDITORS COMMENTS
Buzzing in from Europe, these fashionable female European Paper Wasps have taken the U. S. A. by storm! With their sleek bodies and straight antennae, they're turning heads coast to coast. These social butterflies may be primitive eusocial wasps, but they've mastered the art of displacement as they nest in open combs and outcompete native species. Don't let their delicate appearance fool you - these ladies are carnivorous connoisseurs! They feast on caterpillars with a voracious appetite that would make any foodie jealous. Their curved-antennaed male counterparts add a touch of flair to this buzzing community. Captured beautifully by John Cancalosi's lens, this close-up print showcases the intricate details of these fascinating insects. From their slender legs to their vibrant colors, every aspect is worth admiring. While we can't deny the impact of introduced species like CAN-2125 on our ecosystem, there's no denying that they bring an undeniable charm wherever they go. So next time you spot one of these European Paper Wasps strutting its stuff in North America, take a moment to appreciate nature's remarkable adaptability and enjoy the buzz!
