My Adventures with the Indian Paper Wasp Ropalidia marginata

Converting my hobby into my vocation, I have spent most of my adult life probing the social life of the Indian paper wasp Ropalidia marginata. Today I will give a bird’s eye view of our adventures and our discoveries while hoping to convey our love for the wasps and the excitement my students and I have experienced on this journey.
