Nasty
European Wasp (Vespula germanica)
For my friends in the UK and Europe who often comment that our native Australian wasps 'don't look like wasps'.
The European Wasp was first sighted in Melbourne in 1977 although had been seen in Tasmania in the 1950's.
I don't normally like to get to close to them as, unlike most of our native wasps, they are aggressive, but this one was busy digging something out of our side fence.
