Paper wasp

Spacer
Paper wasps (Polistes gallicus) are very common on the continent though absent from Britain. These rather gentle wasps were commonly to be found drinking in puddles at the pool-side at La Roque. (All of the pictures in this gallery were taken in the garden of 'La Roque', near Ginasservis in Provence, southern France in 2004.)
