Dolichovespula saxonica, commonly known as the Saxon wasp, is a species of social wasp found in Europe. It is a medium-sized insect with a black and yellow striped body, similar to other wasp species. They build paper nests in trees or man-made structures and are known for their aggressive behavior when their nest is disturbed. The Saxon wasp primarily feeds on nectar and insects, playing an important role in pollination and pest control.
