Wikipedia Abstract

The Norwegian wasp (Dolichovespula norwegica) is a species of eusocial wasp. It is common in Scotland and can also be found in areas in Britain and Ireland. Often known for being a tree wasp, it nests in low branches and bushes and feeds on insects. It also obtains nectar from blueberry and snowberry flowers. Although Dolichovespula norwegica were rarely considered as pests in the past, a few cases of pest problems relating to D. norwegica have been reported multiple times. The species is not endangered.
