Study of the nature composition for the nests of the red was vespa orientalis and yellow wasp polistes olivaceus and some of behavior to them

Abstract

The red wasp vespa orientalis and yellow wasp polistes olivaceus is the Iraqi ecological .the information about them is little. this study was doing to know what the nature nest composed of. this study was doing in the college of Agriculture of Baghdad and in the company research of Agriculture (Soil research's ) during the period 1/2/2007 – 1/7/2008 . this study appears that the nest of the red wasp was biger than the yellow wasp and the diameter of it was longer than yellow wasp .and the ratio of the nature composition of the nest for red wasp was : clay 46.5 , silt 22.1 , organic material 13.5 organic carbon 8.4 , sand 8.0 , cellulose 1.5 and the ratio of the nature composition of the nest for the yellow wasp was : cellulose 30.7 , clay 19.9 , organic carbon 12.2 , silt 11.8 , sand 8.9 , so that the nature composition for the nest of the two kinds wasps is different each other .and this study show that the distance of flying for both kinds of wasps was , 400m from their nests , and in the test of attractive to to the fish while the yellow wasp attracted to the honey and insects .
