Field Notes

Description:

larva, pupa, and next of paper wasp.

Habitat:

nest under picnic table on house deck.

Notes:

Paper wasps built a nest under my parent's picnic table and although wasps are beneficial I had to remove the nest. I removed a larva from one uncovered cell and a pupa from a sealed cell.
