Hello, today I found this pretty wasp in the garden sucking nectar from a creeping thistle, sorry but I don't have a picture from the front. Please help identify. Best regards, Volkmar Data: Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia, D-59821 Arnsberg, 235 m, 3.9.2023. Volkmar attached the following image:  [208.04Kb] |

Hello Volkmar, it's a Polistes - and probably P. dominula-group. To be sure we should see frontal and lateral images.
Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |

Thank you very much for your support Eric, unfortunately the wasp disappeared after a short time, so I could not take more pictures.  Regards Volkmar Edited by Volkmar on 04-09-2023 11:46 |

Antennal flagellum seems to be completely bright orange. In that case, it is Polistes dominula. Libor |
