User:Tjunier/Polistinae

The Polistinae are social wasps closely related to the more familiar yellowjackets, but placed in their own subfamily. Their are also known as paper wasps, which is a misleading term since other wasps (including yellowjackets) also build nests out of paper.

Characteristic of Polistinae are:


 * queens (fertile females) hard to distinguish from workers
 * the abdomen is spindle-shaped
 * antennae of males are curled
