Polistes versicolor, also known as the variegated paper wasp or yellow paper wasp, is a subtropical social wasp within Polistes, the most common genus of paper wasp. It is the most widely distributed of South American wasp species and is particularly common in the Southeastern Brazilian states. This social wasp is commonly referred to as the yellow paper wasp due to the distinct yellow bands found on its thorax and abdomen. The P. versicolor nest, made of chewed vegetable fiber, is typically a single, uncovered comb attached to the substratum by a single petiole. The yellow wasp is frequently found in urban areas. New nests and colonies are usually founded by an association of females, sometimes in human buildings. The P. versicolor colony cycle broadly ranges from 3 to 10 months, although

  • Polistes versicolor, also known as the variegated paper wasp or yellow paper wasp, is a subtropical social wasp within Polistes, the most common genus of paper wasp. It is the most widely distributed of South American wasp species and is particularly common in the Southeastern Brazilian states. This social wasp is commonly referred to as the yellow paper wasp due to the distinct yellow bands found on its thorax and abdomen. The P. versicolor nest, made of chewed vegetable fiber, is typically a single, uncovered comb attached to the substratum by a single petiole. The yellow wasp is frequently found in urban areas. New nests and colonies are usually founded by an association of females, sometimes in human buildings. The P. versicolor colony cycle broadly ranges from 3 to 10 months, although there appears to be no relationship between the colony's development and the season of the year. While yellow paper wasps do have clear annual colony cycles, many young queens have the opportunity to hibernate during the winter, forming optional winter aggregations. Dominance hierarchies within these aggregations are characterized by physical aggression of the dominant female(s) towards the associated females, who tend to be sisters. Wagging movements are also often used as a form of communication within the colony. The yellow paper wasp is generally predatory, capturing a wide range of insects, although it often feeds on pollen and nectar as well. Therefore, P. versicolor can be useful as a pollinator or as effective pest control. (en)
  • Polistes versicolor is een vliesvleugelig insect uit de familie van de plooivleugelwespen (Vespidae). P. versicolor is een van zichzelf niet agressieve soort die ook minder dol is op zoetigheid dan de wespen die op het noordelijk halfrond voorkomen. P. versicolor heeft een slank lichaam en is iets groter dan de gemiddelde wesp in de Benelux en omgeving. Hoewel P. versicolor minder agressief is dan de Europese wespen, is de steek pijnlijker dan die van de gewone wesp of Duitse wesp. Deze papierwespen vallen alleen aan als ze zich bedreigd voelen, bijvoorbeeld wanneer men het nest te dicht nadert. Het papierwespennest wordt gebouwd van onder andere het eigen speeksel. Aangezien dit veel vocht vergt, kunnen papierwespennesten vaak gevonden worden in de buurt van kleine waterbronnen (zoals een lekkende airconditioning of kraan). Veelal kunnen de nesten ergens onder hangend gevonden worden. (nl)

  • Polistes versicolor, também conhecida como vespa do papel variegada ou vespa do papel amarela, é uma vespa social subtropical dentro de Polistes, o gênero mais comum de vespa do papel. A espécie de vespa da América do Sul mais amplamente distribuída, P. versicolor é particularmente comum nos estados do sudeste brasileiro. Essa vespa social é comumente chamada de vespa do papel amarela devido às faixas amarelas distintas encontradas em seu tórax e abdômen. O ninho de P. versicolor, feito de fibra vegetal mastigada, é tipicamente um único pente descoberto preso ao substrato por um único pecíolo . A vespa amarela é frequentemente encontrada em áreas urbanas. Novos ninhos e colônias são geralmente fundados por uma associação de fêmeas, às vezes em edifícios humanos. O ciclo da colônia de P. versicolor varia amplamente de 3 a 10 meses, embora pareça não haver relação entre o desenvolvimento da colônia e a estação do ano. Embora as vespas do papel amarelo tenham ciclos de colônia anuais claros, muitas rainhas jovens têm a oportunidade de hibernar durante o inverno, formando agregações opcionais de inverno. Hierarquias de dominância dentro dessas agregações são caracterizadas por agressão física da (s) fêmea (s) dominante (s) em relação às fêmeas associadas, que tendem a ser irmãs. Os movimentos de abanar também são frequentemente usados como uma forma de comunicação dentro da colônia. A vespa do papel amarela é geralmente predatória, capturando uma grande variedade de insetos, embora muitas vezes também se alimente de pólen e néctar. Portanto, P. versicolor pode ser útil como polinizador ou como controle eficaz de pragas. (pt)
