Animal India - Yellow Paper-wasp - Polistes Olivaceus
Yellow paper-wasp (Polistes olivaceus) or Tattaiyas is known for its intriguingly vivid yellow coloration, an uncommon characteristic among wasp species. Their unique thermal regulatory system allows them to thrive in varying climates. Yellow paper wasps contribute significantly to the ecosystem through their role as pollinators and as prey on certain insect pests. Moreover, their complex social structures showcase some of the animal kingdom's most fascinating manifestations of cooperative behavior. They are about 18 to 25mm long wasps that gather fibers from dead wood and plant stems, which they mix with saliva, and use to construct water-resistant nests made of gray or brown papery material. Paper wasps are also sometimes called umbrella wasps, due to the distinctive design of their nests. The Yellow paper-wasp bites humans actively and has special defensive behaviors that can trigger toxic reactions or allergic reactions. If there are serious reactions, seek immediate medical attention. This photo was take
