Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species of the world's social wasps, wasps that live in a highly cooperative and organized society consisting almost entirely of females--the queen and her sterile female workers.
我觉得可以分为三个部分来理解这句话:
1.Yellow jackets
number among the 900 or so soecies of the world's
social wasps.
number作为谓语
2.wasps that live in a highly cooperative and organized societyconsisting almost entirely of females.
live 作为谓语,cooperative and organized作为形容词短语修饰society。consisting现在分词作为形容词来修饰society。实际上, cooperative, organized, and consisting三者都是形容词用来修饰society.
3.the queen and her sterile female workers.
名词短语用来解释前面的females
