Asian Hornet (Vespa velutina) annoyed by a Wasp (Vespula vulgaris) during its meal on a pear in a pear tree (Pyrus communis) in a residential garden, in autumn, in October, in Picardy - France. Hornets and wasps love juicy ripe fruit, tree sap or flower nectar for their rich sweetness. They also catch insects (80% of which are flies) to feed their offspring. The insects being very rich in proteins, they make a nourishing porridge that they bring back to the nest to satiate their larvae.Asian Hornet (Vespa velutina) annoyed by a Wasp (Vespula vulgaris) during its meal on a pear in a pear tree (Pyrus communis) in a residential garden, in autumn, in October, in Picardy - France.
