European Paper Wasp With Damaged Wings
Towards the end of last summer I found this European Paper Wasp with damaged wings on one of the milkweed plants in my garden. I have no idea how its wings got damaged but I figured that it had very little chance of surviving without wings. I was delighted and surprised to see that it survived all through the rest of the summer. It was out on that same milkweed plant whenever I checked. This photo was taken in my Maryland garden on 8/24/22.
