Paper wasps congregate on the outside of their nests primarily for temperature regulation and to maintain a suitable microclimate inside the nest. By clustering on the exterior, they can help ventilate the nest and manage humidity levels, ensuring optimal conditions for their developing larvae. Additionally, this behavior allows them to guard the nest against intruders and predators, enhancing the overall safety of the colony.
