Paper Wasp

Paper Wasp The nests of most true paper wasps are characterized by having open combs with cells for brood rearing, a constricted stalk that anchors the nest (see image, below). Paper wasps secrete a chemical which repels ants, which they spread around the base of the anchor to prevent the loss of eggs or brood.

Below, you see a Paper Wasp tending to the brood and eggs. Look carefully and you will see both in the open combs.
