Summary

Description

A waterfront nest of the large paper wasp Polistes major. Make sure you have a strong peace treaty with the Vespidae before doing this. The alert fighter at top left was watching me closely. There is video but it's too creepy, even for those without Spheksophobia! I will remove this if it bothers anyone. These are beautiful individually, but can be disturbing en masse.

The short video of this colony lives here:
