Scalloping - Vespula maculifrons
Pennsylvania, USA
July 3, 2008
you can see that the workers have taken over everything... and they are building in their own way called "scalloping". the queen is only out in the photo because i tapped on the side of the cage to see if she would come out so i could take a photo of her :)
