¿Esta es autóctona? Jamás la había visto ni lo habría sospechado. ¡Gracias, Maniacval! ^^

Hola Eva Se trata de otra especie mas comun, para que fuera la Vespa mandarina tendria que tener una cara mucho mas amarillenta, si te fijas bien se trata de la especie que te indico ya que esta es autoctona. Un abrazo
