Polistes Olivaceus - Animal India

A Yellow Paper-wasp (Polistes Olivaceus), or Tattaiya, is displaying its strikingly vivid yellow coloration, which is an uncommon characteristic among wasp species. It is using its unique thermal regulatory system to thrive in varying climates. The Yellow Paper-wasp is contributing significantly to the ecosystem by acting as a pollinator and preying on certain insect pests. It is building a paper-like nest that resembles an umbrella in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on April 17, 2024. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
