Field Notes

Description:

This little queen Paper Wasp had built a set of 10 cells on a wall and was putting an egg into each one. She was very protective and I had to wait until she went off again to get a picture inside her nest.

Habitat:

Arcotete Park, about 10 km north of San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico.
