Prairie Yellow Jacket Wasp (Vespula Atropilosa)

On this occasion I will share photos of Animals that belong to the Insect class, the name of the insect that I shared this time is Wasp, this is the wasp that I photographed when he was standing on the grass that swayed because of the wind so it made me a little difficult when taking the photo of the wasp that I shared this time.

The type of wasp that I shared this time is "Vespula", they are also known as yellow jacket wasps, this is because these wasps look distinctive with their very cool yellow color. When I tried to find out the types of vespula found in articles written on Wikipedia, I realized that there are very many other types of vespula that exist in this world, and it seems that the type of wasp that I shared this time belongs to the "Vespula Atropilosa", this is a type of prairie yellow jacket wasp, and the wasp that I found this time I also found when he was in the grass and weeds, from what I read there generally this type of wasp builds its nest on the ground and the female (queen) will mate with many males, even though previously the males will fight to get the queen. Some of the photos below show the front of the insect that I share this time when it is on green grass and with a background of green grass that is there :

If we look from the direction or side of this type of wasp it will look like in the following pictures :

Here I also share the bottom of this wasp, although not all of it is visible because it is covered by the ends of the grass when above the thatch grass :

I took the two red background photos below with the tank of my best friend's motorcycle, who was also hunting together at that time:

All the photos that I share in this post were taken using a smartphone camera (Pocophone X3 NFC) and the help of a macro lens. Hope you like it and see you in my next post.
