Buzzing all the Way from Europe to Boston - Meet the Wasp Invasion Queens!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by John Cancalosi, we witness a remarkable European Paper Wasp (CAN-2268) flaunting her fierce presence in New York City. This audacious female wasp, hailing from central Europe and introduced to the Boston area in the 1980s, has successfully conquered coast-to-coast territories across the United States. With their open comb nests serving as royal residences, these primitive eusocial wasps have established themselves as formidable carnivorous predators. Their insatiable appetite for caterpillars keeps them on top of their game while they displace native species with their unstoppable invasion. But let's not forget about their distinct antennae! Males rock curved antennas that add an extra touch of style to their already impressive persona. On the other hand, females sport straight antennas that exude elegance and sophistication. As we marvel at this single female perched proudly near her nest, it's clear that she represents more than just an insect; she symbolizes nature's ability to adapt and thrive even when faced with new challenges. So next time you spot one of these buzzing beauties in your backyard or local park, remember - they may be invaders but they've certainly earned their place in North America's wild kingdom!
