BIOLOGY: Wasps are incredible predators and live within a highly structured social system that allows them to reproduce quickly and build beautiful paper nests. By the end of the season (wasp nests die out generally by October in our cold climate), there may be as many as 5000 wasps within the colony!
ECO TiPS: If the wasp nest is in a very high spot or out of the way, it is often unnecessary to have them removed. Wasps do have an important place in our urban ecosystems. |
