In our greenhouse this year a wasp colony formed without anyone noticing.

But luckily the particular species in there is very peaceful and has a comparatively small colony. What is very interesting is that this species does not enclose their nest but build it in a completely exposed way. Very cool as you can always see whats going on in the nest.

I have a lot of them around my house in eastern France. Not dangerous at all (if you don't attack the nest of course) so I let them be.

They're a new specie here, before it was too cold for them to thrive.
