Blanka von Angertor, Flocki's sister, was even more influential when mated with Piccolo von Angertor (Lechner's Box grandson) to produce the predominantly white (particolored) female dog Meta von der Passage, which, even bearing little resemblance with the modern Boxer standard (early photographs depict her as too long ...
Polistes fuscatus, whose common name is the dark or northern paper wasp, is widely found in eastern North America, from southern Canada through the southern United States. [2] It often nests around human development.
While these insects do not use a traditional paper-making technique, they do create an amazingly similar material when constructing their nests. This image was created in 2007 by Charles Kaziek as part of the science and art fusion collaborative called the Paper Project. Image magnification - 1,000X.
Old guinea paper wasp nest showing layers of different colors produced from different source materials. Polistes nests can be built from wood fiber which are collected from posts and plant stems. The fiber is formed into a paper-like comb with hexagonal cells. The nests are orientated downward and are held up by one filament. [14]
P. biglumis was originally classified as a hornet in the genus Vespa, but was reassigned to the genus Polistes, which is the largest genus of paper wasps in the family Vespidae. [3] This species resides mainly in mountainous zones in Southern Europe, and it is the only paper wasp that inhabits a mountainous clime. Due to its divergence from the ...
The European paper wasp (Polistes dominula) is one of the most common and well-known species of social wasps in the genus Polistes.Its diet is more diverse than those of most Polistes species—many genera of insects versus mainly caterpillars in other Polistes—giving it superior survivability compared to other wasp species during a shortage of resources.
In the 1950’s, there were only about 30 Nene, according to the Department of Land & Natural Resources (DLNR). Now, Hawaii is home to almost 3,000.
P. metricus, female. Polistes is a cosmopolitan genus of paper wasps and the only genus in the tribe Polistini. Vernacular names for the genus include umbrella wasps, coined by Walter Ebeling in 1975 to distinguish it from other types of paper wasp, in reference to the form of their nests, [3] and umbrella paper wasps.
