The yellow paper wasp (Polistes olivaceus), also known as tattaiyas, is recognized for its strikingly vivid yellow coloration, an uncommon characteristic among wasp species. Their unique thermal regulatory system enables them to thrive in various climates. The Indian yellow paper wasp lays 10-20 eggs after establishing a nest. The eggs take about 6.5 days to develop into immature stages, and the entire colony cycle lasts about 270 days. Yellow paper wasps play a significant role in the ecosystem as pollinators and by preying on certain insect pests. They construct paper-like nests that resemble umbrellas. The yellow paper wasp has a stinger at its tail, which can sting people. However, it is not aggressive and rarely attacks humans unless it feels threatened. Nevertheless, it should be treated with caution as its sting is very painful and can cause redness and swelling. The photo of the yellow paper wasp nest was taken in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on May 16, 2024.

The Lesser Banded Hornet (Vespa affinis) is a small to medium-sized hornet common in tropical and subtropical Asia. It is found in many countries, including Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Myanmar (formerly Burma), Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, and the Philippines (specifically Palawan). The hornet has a brownish-red or black head, pubescent (hairy) compound eyes, black ocelli (simple eyes), and dark brown antennae, which are usually pale brown underneath. Queens can reach up to 3 cm, males 2.5 cm, and workers average between 2 and 2.5 cm in length. The Lesser Banded Hornet is found in grassy areas, forests, wastelands, and beaches. It preys on flies, which can be pests. These hornets build their nests in tall trees or abandoned henhouses. The sting of a Lesser Banded Hornet can cause pain, swelling, and redness at the site. The area may also become itchy and sensitive to touch. If stung by a hornet, one should clean the affected area with soap and water, apply a cold compress to dull the pain and reduce swelling, and elevate the sting site if it is on an arm or leg. Over-the-counter medications like antihistamines or corticosteroid creams can also be taken or applied to reduce symptoms near the sting. A Lesser Banded Hornet was observed on a wall in a house at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on April 6, 2024.
