Polistes dominula, commonly known as the European paper wasp, is a species of social wasp characterized by its slender body and distinctive black and yellow markings. These wasps are often found in Europe and have also been introduced to other parts of the world. They build paper nests, typically in sheltered areas, and are known for their aggressive behavior when their nests are threatened. European paper wasps play a role in pollination and can be beneficial for gardeners, but caution is advised when encountering them due to their stinging capability.
