Ovipositing  - Polistes fuscatus - female

Ovipositing - Polistes fuscatus - Female
Perry County, Pennsylvania, USA
Laying an egg in one of the cells of the empty nest that she adopted. This will be her 11th egg.. she would have more than that but during the beginning she kept eating them after she layed them.

Am really hoping she is fertile and her offspring turn out to be workers, unlike my previous injured wasp:
