The original order was for 14. Hoping 9 will satisfy. Getting weary of making wasps. (No criticism of the designer, however.)

Notes

Very clever design, especially regarding the head shaping.

Made this design as a Arizona Paper Wasp for Luca, the designated queen.
Grandson needs 14 workers, apparently.
I made 9 here plus one made prior makes 10.
Hopefully the 10 will suffice.

Used larger hop for the wings.
