New Species - German Wasp

The German Wasp (Vespula germanica) is common enough but I hadn't formally identified a specimen from here before. A dead Wasp in our longe gave me the opportunity for a close examination and the specimen turns out to be a German Wasp. The facial markings are one way to distinguish it from the Common Wasp (Vespula vulgaris).
