Ropalidia Sumatrae

Ropalidia sumatrae

Sumatran paper wasp from family Vespidae.
Ropalidia Sumatrae wasp I spotted this wasp while on an epic 8 day bus trip from Bandung to Singapore and back. That is an 8 page saga in itself, so I won’t expand on that here. Enough to say that the bus broke down in the middle of nowhere, so I grabbed my camera and scanned the roadside shrubbery. Location is Sumatra, Indonesia. Roadside shrubbery.
