Ropalidia fasciata
This is a small, nectar feeding wasp. I see it often on scrub-land, feeding on the creeping foxglove. Not much to say from my observations, a harmless little creature.
Location is Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Alongside a stream and paddy fields.
"Ropalidia fasciata", a common paper wasp, is a wide-ranging species that is distributed from India to the Lesser Sunda Islands, Palawan, and Ryukyu Islands, occupying the northern edge of "Ropalidia"’s larger distribution.
