Please help me identify this wasp. I can’t find one like it anywhere online. Thanks,
Jonathan Sonnier

Hi Jonathan,
This is a Paper Wasp in the genus Polistes. To quote Eric Eaton on Bugguide, where a similar photo is posted: ” Polistes. Defnitely a paper wasp, but when you get to Texas you can throw all the rules out the window. Diversity just goes through the roof.”
