Paper Wasp

  • Paper wasps are social, and live in wasp nests together.

  • They create water-resistant nests out of dead wood, plant materials, and their own saliva.  The nests are usually gray or brown depending on the materials used.

  • They are omnivores, feeding on both insects and nectar.

  • Paper wasps release chemicals that help to deter predators. 

  • They are aggressive and will sting intruders/potential threats to their nest repeatedly.
