paper wasp
Chews wood pulp
A paper wasp is a social wasp that builds its nest from plant fibers chewed into a papery material.
The nests are umbrella-shaped with exposed hexagonal cells, often found under eaves or in sheltered spots.
Paper wasps are slender with long legs and deliver painful stings when threatened, though they're less aggressive than hornets or yellowjackets.
