Black Shield Wasp - Vespa bicolorClass: InsectaOrder: HymenopteraSuborder: ApocritaFamily: VespidaeSubfamily: VespinaeGenus: VespaThis is the smallest species of Vespa, and certainly one of the smallest in the world (perhaps the smallest). It is easily recognizable due to its bright yellow colour; it has a black triangular patch on the central part of the thorax, and the abdomen sometimes displays black stripes due to expansion when the wasp is eating. Queens are far larger than workers and reach 25mm or more; males average 19 to 23mm, and the largest workers reach 22mm. Most workers I find are in the range of 17 to 19mm, and some only 15mm.Vespa bicolor is one of the most common social wasps, along with species of Parapolybia. It can be found in a wide range of environments, and frequently appears near human dwellings.Vespa bicolor is not at all picky regarding its choice of prey. Workers of this species target small flying insects, and tend to hunt by site. They are also fond of human food, particularly meaty items, and frequently appear at barbecue sites. This is the only local hornet which seems to like collecting cooked meat. It can thus be a pest at barbecues and outdoor events. They apparently do not hurt people in their quest for food, and a small number can easily be chased away, but on occasions, when they appear in large numbers, it can be disastrous. They especially like the smell of barbequed meats and fish, as well as anything sweet. They also forage among garbage.Vespa bicolor is the smallest species of Vespa: Body length of workers only 15-22 mm, males 19-23 mm and queens reach 25mm. Red Wasp - Vespula rufa Order: Hymenoptera Family: Vespidae Genus: Vespula Vespula rufa, commonly known as the red wasp, is a social wasp species belonging to the genus Vespula. It is found in northern and central Europe, parts of Asia, and northern parts of North America. Vespula rufa is characterised by red-brown markings and body segmentation, with the appearance varying amongst the different roles of individuals in the species. These wasps build small nests in dry banks underground that are not far below the surface. The colony cycle begins in the fall. Vespula rufa feed on live insects. One interesting fact about Vespula rufa is that the queen policing occurs in the species, and that worker policing occurs at much lower rates than other species in the genus Vespula. There are predators and parasites of the species. The species goes through a series of events before leaving the nest. V. rufa can be distinguished by its reddish-brown markings on the back. Specimens of this species with reduced spots on the abdomen have tissue that is segmented into three parts and four “anteriorly directed lobes.” There are three main types of colour patterns in the species. V. rufa lack the long, yellow lines that V. squamosa and V. sulphurea have. Workers and queens differ in their colour patterns. While the basic colour scheme appears to be the same in workers and queens, there are some slight differences. Workers have more expansive black colour and less yellow or white than queens. That is, the queens have a greater display of yellow colour than the workers. In the workers, the yellow tissue of the abdominal segment is thin and triply divided, while the yellow tissue segments in the queen are larger. In queens lateral divisions become black spots. However, this is not always the case as often workers have divisions replaced by black spots, and queens occasionally have the less patterned appearance characteristic of workers. The differences in colour pattern correspond to the size, with more coloured workers being more likely to be large and less coloured ones more likely to be small. Workers have the smallest fore wing length (10.0-11.0 mm), followed by males (11.0-12.0 mm), and females have the longest fore wings (12.5-13.0 mm).
