Vespula consobrina is a species of social wasp commonly found in North America. It is known for its distinctive black and yellow coloration, similar to other wasp species. These insects build large paper nests, often underground or in cavities, and are known to be aggressive when their nests are disturbed. Vespula consobrina primarily feeds on nectar and other sugary substances, but also scavenges for protein-rich food sources.
