European Paper Wasp (Polistes dominula) - Polistes dominula - Female
Battleford, Saskatchewan, Canada
June 22, 2008

First record for the Canadian Prairies!
Thanks for posting this image! This appears to be the first record of Polistes dominula from the Canadian Prairie provinces (though several other images from the same year from Winnipeg were posted here on Bugguide as well). It is currently the northernmost record of this species in North America. Congratulations!
