Paper Wasp Polistes humilis - a photo on Flickriver

Paper Wasp Polistes humilis

            Many people hate these Wasps - not sure why, possibly ignorance.

I like them and most years they build a nest next to my front door. One arrived yesterday and this is her handiwork since then; most industrious.
