Liostenogaster vechti is a type of eusocial hover wasp within the family Vespidae. [1] They are typically brown and yellow in color and are considered a passive aggressive species. [2]
Foundresses that move most frequently join the nest of a full sister, yet do not increase their reproductive rank upon joining a new nest. [10] The moving foundress usually lays her eggs at her previous nest, so joining a new nest is a surprising behavior as the offspring will not be directly related to her. [ 12 ]
Venezuelan troupials breed from March to September. They do not construct their own nests, but are instead obligate nest pirates. They make no nest of their own, but must instead either find a vacant nest or drive the adults away from an active nest. Venezuelan troupials are capable of violent attacks against established nesters.
Parachartergus fraternus [1] is a neotropical, swarm founding, polistine wasp species that is distributed throughout Central and South America. [2] They live in nests in second growth tropical dry forests, near pasture fields, roadside areas, and urban areas as well. [3]
The species is distinguishable by its light coloring, unique single comb nests, and nocturnal nature. [1] A notable feature of this species is the size dimorphism between queens and workers. Unlike most Vespidae wasps, Apocia flavissima queens are smaller than their worker counterparts which results in unique intraspecies relationships.
This species was described by Thomas Say in 1831. Rau referred to this species as Polistes pallipes or P. fuscatus pallipes in a number of his publications. [8] [9] However, references to P. metricus as either P. pallipes or P. fuscatus pallipes are due to confusion with a dark morph of P. fuscatus, so the name P. pallipes is rather retained as a synonym of P. fuscatus and not of P. metricus.

Breeding takes place during the dry season throughout its range, with the nest being a large, conspicuous structure that usually hangs over water. Nests are built by both sexes, out of creepers, fungal hyphae, moss, and other plant matter. Eggs are laid in clutches of two or three, occasionally with a fourth runt egg, and incubated by both parents.
