How Big Can Wasps Grow?

During the spring, a wasp queen starts building a nest. The nest starts small, but increases in size as the number of wasps increases. It is made of a comb of nest cells that are enclosed by an envelope. The nest is usually made of wood. The nests of the wasp are often found in high places, such as eaves and porch overhangs. They can grow to football size.

When the weather cools, the social structure of the nest breaks down. Adult workers die off, and the queen must feed the larvae. She is also responsible for plant pollination, just like the honey bee. She can lay up to 2000 eggs a day.

Wasps can be categorized as queen wasps, digger wasps, paper wasps, and great black wasps. The paper wasp is commonly found in New Hampshire. These wasps have long legs and a brown body. They also have a long tongue and a narrow abdomen.

The digger wasps are found in the US and Canada. They dig burrows in the ground and then use their burrow to carry prey to their nest. The wasps also use their wings to fan the nest to keep it cool.

The paper wasp’s nest looks like an upside down paper comb. As the colony grows, new combs are added to the nest. The nest can also be made of a single stalk. The wasps can range from orange to reddish brown in color.
