Polistes apachus is a social wasp native to western North America. [2] It is known in English by the common name Texas paper wasp, [3] [4] or southwestern Texas paper wasp. [5] It has also been called the Apache wasp, perhaps first by Simmons et al. in California in 1948.
The species is only known from male specimens and was described in 2023 based on genetic differences to other Dielis species. It is chromatically distinguished from the males of all other North American species of the tribe Campsomerini (except for D. pillipies) by having five stripes along its abdomen rather than four.
Polistes bellicosus is a social paper wasp from the order Hymenoptera typically found within Texas, namely the Houston area.

P. bellicosus often rebuild their nests at least once per colony season due to predation. [1]
It is a social wasp in the family Vespidae and subfamily Polistinae. The species is native to the United States from Texas to Florida, north to New York, and west to Nebraska.

Another ally, D. pilipes , has a fifth band on the abdomen (only shared with D. tejensis [ 4 ] ) and is structurally distinct from all other members of the genus by the microstructuring on the ...
