[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
European Paper Wasp (Polistes dominulus)

Although its two tone black and orange antennae are unique, it is often mistaken for a yellow jacket.

Before 1981, the dominulus paper wasp was not recorded in North America. In its native region, it is the most abundant paper wasp around the Mediterranean. It is also found in southern Europe, northern Africa, the Middle East, and eastward into China. A highly successful colonizer, this wasp has rapidly increased its distribution in the United States during the past 20 years. A recent arrival to Ontario (2001), it is now locally common in dry meadow, fields, backyards.
