EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the striking features of the Common Wasp, Vespula vulgaris. With its distinctive yellow and black stripes, this winged invertebrate is a familiar sight during daytime hours. Belonging to the Hymenoptera order, specifically the Vespidae family, the Common Wasp is an essential part of the insect world. The Common Wasp is an active and social insect, living in colonies that can number in the thousands. They are predators, feeding on a variety of insects, including aphids, caterpillars, and other soft-bodied insects. Their role as predators makes them valuable allies in controlling pest populations. Despite their intimidating appearance, Common Wasps are not aggressive towards humans unless provoked. They are important pollinators, contributing to the ecosystem by aiding in the pollination process. The Common Wasp's diet consists mainly of sugar sources, which they obtain from nectar and ripe fruit. This print offers a close-up view of the Common Wasp's intricate exoskeleton, revealing the hexapod structure of its six legs. The Common Wasp's body is covered in tiny hairs, which help to keep it clean and regulate its body temperature. Its two pairs of wings are folded neatly against its body, ready for flight. The Common Wasp's presence is a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the natural world. It is a testament to the intricate balance of ecosystems and the vital role that even the smallest of creatures play in maintaining that balance. Whether admired from a distance or studied up close, the Common Wasp is a fascinating and essential part of the insect kingdom.
