Polistes vergnei

This social paper wasp occupies vegetated habitats where it can attach small exposed comb nests to stems, branches, or sheltered structures. Adults drink nectar and other sugary liquids, while also capturing soft-bodied arthropods to feed developing larvae. A female can deliver a painful venomous sting when defending herself or the nest.
