Dolichovespula sylvestris (Scopoli, 1763) View in CoL – Tree Wasp
This species can be separated from its social parasite D. omissa by having blunted anterior angles of clypeus, and from D. saxonica and D. norwegica by having dense and coarse punctures in lower part of clypeus. Males are unmistakeable by having backward elongated gonostipes.
Common wasp species in forested areas. More common at lower and middle altitudes; at higher altitudes partly replaced by D. saxonica .
