Vespa tropica
Wasps
On my wall.
This big wasp was nonchalantly eating the eggs of the paper wasps. The paper wasps seemed the least concerned and most of them were maintaing their positions on the paper combs! They were absolutely passive! Never seen such stoicism...!!!! Is the big one a potter wasp or a hornet??

Thanks for the info Mr.Marco. does this usually happen or is it a new observation?
Very interesting! It's a Vespa tropica attacking a nest of Ropalidia sp.
