First evidence of wasp brood development inside active nests of a termite with the description of a previously unknown potter wasp species [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 AbstractPotter wasps (Vespidae: Eumeninae) are known to exhibit not only sophisticated preying strategies but also a remarkable ability to manipulate clay during nest building. Due to a mixture of plasticity in building behavior and flexibility in substrate preferences during nest building, the group has been reported nesting in a variety of places ...
