Summary

Description
English: Ladies of the Lake. Here is a one minute video I made while the guest of a lake-front community of large, colorful paper wasps (Polistes major) at the Solid Waste Authority Greenway Trail, Palm Beach County, Florida, USA. They let me watch as they lovingly cared for their young. I would have documented more of their fascinating behavior but my potato head was directly in their flyway! There is a LOT going on in this short video, especially starting around 00:24.
  • 00:00-The alert fighters are eying me carefully as they didn't get the memo that I was invited.
  • 00:24-two wasps up front are working together to divide a caterpillar for feeding to the young while another fans her wings to cool eggs facing the sun.
  • 00:45-two scouts return (having dodged around my head).
  • 00:55 more fanning/cooling.

This colony was on the shore of a beautiful pond under a sign which barely provided any cover at all so dealing with thunderstorms must have been difficult.
