Polistes sp.
Active Polistes sp. paper wasp nest.
Nest on spotted dracaena (Dracaena surculosa) near house located in a large, semi-urban yard & garden, in close proximity to a disturbed patch of remnant lowland forest.
This species time and time again lets me get very close without getting "angry" :-)

Thanks MarcoSelis. I would never have guessed so given that mine has 4 yellow abdominal bands. Perhaps that is not diagnostic. If it isn't, what is? The spot on the wings? The face or thoracic patterns? Thanks. I'd like to learn more.
This is Polistes stigma
Very active!
