Ontario, Canada
So this year I found some nice wasp combs and decided to do some pinning and mount some wasps on them for an interesting display. I’ve so far found (all dead) a yellowjacket queen, a northern paper wasp, and a black mud dauber. Yellowjacket Queen/worker/drone comparisons are very easy to find online, but paper wasps and mud daubers not so much. Everything about identifying them goes into how to exterminate them. I’m trying to identify what part of the colony my paper was (and my dauber) but I cannot find anything about it other than ‘Queens are bigger’ which is obvious.
Again to clarify I have a northern paper wasp (black and red) and a black mud dauber, but I’m still interested in how to identify the more common striped varieties because I will find one eventually.
