FAMILY VESPIDAE
This page contains pictures and information about the Yellow Paper Wasps that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

- Body length 12mm
- We found this Yellow Paper Wasp near Bulimba Creek in Wishart on Oct 2007. This
wasp is small in size, with more yellow colour than the other paper
wasps.

-
- The wasp was hunting on small plants. It did not care too much on our
approaching. We did not find its nest yet. From reference it is a large paper nest with multi-layered
structure and outer covering. If you find it, do not disturb
it for the wasps will give very painful sting.

-
- We found another one about the same area on Nov 2007. They could be belong
to the same nest. Will follow them next time to track their nest.

was multi-layered structure and with outer covering. Which looked like be
