[edit] Add Geographic Range section

Anyone who knows enough about wasps or has a field guide book should add a geographic range section for this article. --Ice Ardor 05:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Polistes dominulus vs Polistes gallicus

From what I knew recently, Polistes gallicus and Polistes dominulus are not the same species. Please check this comment from an European specialist. I think the page should be corrected -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:11, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Aggression

The assertions of aggression in this species are overblown and consist only of anecdotal (and probably apochryphal) evidence. Ditto the speculation the wasps in the U.S. feed mainly on caterpillars. I would like to see any evidence supporting same; the diatribe at Penn State website http://www.ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/dominulus.htm does not count; that article offers no evidence, either, only hyperbole.Nickrz (talk) 13:10, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
