Predatory behavior, nesting habits, and impacts on honey bees (Apis mellifera) of an invasive hornet (Vespa tropica) on the island of Guam
Fig 7
Color profiles of V. tropica hornets on Guam did not match the known color forms described across V. tropica’s native range.
Color profiles for the head+thorax and gaster were estimated for individual hornets across available specimens (images from iNaturalist.org for all native geographic regions; collected specimens and video records additionally for Guam). Within each native region, color forms adhered to Archer’s [33] descriptions. The number of records (and percentage of total) are given for each combination of colors that was observed for either the head+thorax or gaster in a geographic location (row).
