What happens to paper wasps in the winter time?I live in So. 
California and have a wasp nest outside my window.I have been 
observing it for years and wonder if it's the same wasps year 
after year?I have knocked the nest down(accidently)in the winter 
time and without fail wasps build a new nest in exactly the same 
spot the following spring-are these the same wasps?
