[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Polish]
Polistes dominulus, sometimes referred to as the European Paper wasp, is one of the more common and well-known species of social wasps in Europe; for many years, the species was known as Polistes gallicus. This wasp is very commonly mistaken for a yellowjacket, as it is black strongly marked with yellow, in a pattern very reminiscent of a yellowjacket. Nests are begun by overwintered foundresses, who spend about a month in the spring constructing a nest and provisioning offspring, the first of which will become daughter workers in the growing colony. Males are produced later, and when they start to appear, a few daughters may mate and leave their nest, to become foundresses the next season. The colony disperses in the late summer, with only males and future foundresses produced instead of workers, and individuals frequently cluster in groups (called a hibernaculum) to overwinter. Hibernation does not usually take place on former nest sites (Wikipedia).

potrzeba nie lada szczęścia by odnaleźć takie gniazdo. Potrzeba też ogromnego zamiłowania by widzieć to, co dla wiekszości pozostaje w ukryciu. Piekne zdjęcie, bardzo dobrze doswietlone, świetnie wyostrzone i w naturalnych kolorach.
Pozdrawiam,
Jurek
