The Vespidae are a family of wasps very familliar to the general population, as they have quite the reputation. Many of the over 5000 species under Vespidae are eusocial and form colonies consisting of a queen and workers. Social behaviours in these species are incredibly interesting and includes things like group decision-making. Not only do individual social wasps have their own personalities, entire colonies can too, where some colonies will react very aggressively to intrusion but other colonies may hunker down and pretend to not exist.
Some of these social wasps evolved to have larger eyes to better interpret the facial features and social cues of their kin.
Colonies can react defensively to stimuli like carbon dioxide, so if you would like to take a good close look at stinging wasp like this, try not to breathe air onto them.
