Family Vespidae, subfamily Polistinae.
Paper wasps live in small colonies and build a papery nest out of masticated wood fibres. The nest is composed of a single layer of exposed cells attached to a waterproofed 'roof' hanging by a short stalk from a branch or twig in a shrub or tree, on a fence or under an eave. Nest removal is hazardous, as the occupants will aggressively defend it; the job is best left to an experienced operator.
Polistes (Polistes) chinensis is listed in the following regions:
Canberra & Southern Tablelands | Southern Highlands | South Coast | Greater Sydney | Central West NSW | Greater Melbourne | Gippsland
Species page sighting lists are under redevelopment and will return very soon.
