Northern Paper Wasp (Polistes fuscatus)
Last August, I was walking along on a dead-end street and at the very end, there was a planter with a few pink coneflowers in it. What caught my eye was this attractive wasp, a type that I'd never spotted before. I've learned that there are different colour variations of Polistes fuscatus depending on the geographical location, so this explains why it took me quite some time to figure out its ID. I hope to see one again someday.
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're all greatly appreciated. Have a great day!
