Rolf Nagel-Fl-18-9683-Vespula vulgaris

Vespula vulgaris
Common Wasp
Gemeine Wespe
Almindelig Gedehams

A lot of action and fighting at a rotten pear today.
German and Common Wasps were feeding together, but it never took long until they started to fight.
Common against Common was short and both combatants survived, but I watched three fights of German against Common Wasp and all ended fatally for the Commons.
The wasps were not hunting for flies, but they were very cautious anyway
