The Jack Spaniard

The jack spaniard’s morphology resembles that of a normal Polistes (paper) wasp. It is one of the largest wasps that belong to the family Vespidae. The morphology of the male Polistes lanio (jack spaniard) is similar to that of the female of this species with only a few different minor characteristics.
