 Found wandering in the grass. Larger than common wasp worker (15-20mm body length). Knowing that only mated females survive the winter could it be a common wasp queen (Vespula vulgaris)?

Thanks,

 But V. germanica is not supposed to have the black bar in the face, just three dots.

 Most probable is it V. germanica.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
