Water Hat, Pt. 3 - _TNY_8365
If you zoom in on the head of this eusocial wasp, you'll find that it has a drop of water on top of it.
As for species, it looks a bit odd with the more brown than black segmentation on the abdomen, but given the markings on the face and everything, I still think this is a common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) and not one of the other eleven eusocial species in Sweden.
I found it stationary on a leaf on a windy day close to the beach near my mom's summer house in Värmdö, Sweden.
