| A colony of common wasps usually comprises 3000 to 4000 animals although colonies of 10,000 wasps are not uncommon. As many as 50,000 common wasps have been found living in one colony (in New Zealand for example). Labour in the colony is organised. The intensity of brood care is similar to that of bees. While the adult wasps are vegetarian - feeding on ne... | | |
| | The German wasp nests underground. Construction begins in spring. The wasps often nest in spaces previously used by other animals which are then expanded. The colony usually comprises 3000 to 4000 animals. Even nests of 7000 wasps are not uncommon. The nests can have a circumference of 2 meters. The division of labour is organised in the colony. The intensity of the brood care is like that of the bees. The larvae of Vespidae are fed on the meat of insects. | | |

They can hover at one point in the air and even fly backwards. Flight speeds of up to 50 km/h are not uncommon. The abdomen is very long and thin and has a stabilizing effect in flight. | | |

While 8 species occur in France, there are only 2 in Central Europe, and these are uncommon. Scoliidae living in the temperate zones usually produce 1 new generation per year. However, 2 or 3 broods per year are possible - this has been observed among the Campsomeris species in Korea. | | |
| | ... size and can number up to 1, 200. The larvae hatch after 15 days and feed on fallen leaves or on the roots of young plants. They can cause considerable damage in horticulture and agriculture. 300 to 400 larvae per square metre of usable area is not uncommon. The larvae pupate in the soil about 4 months after hatching. During this time, they shed their skin 4 times. The pupae overwinter in the soil. | | |
