Ropalidia revolutionalis (de Saussure, 1853)
|
Ropalidia revolutionalis, the stick-nest brown paper wasp, is a diurnal social wasp of the family Vespidae. They are known for the distinctive combs they make for their nests, and they have been found in Queensland, Australia in the areas of Brisbane and Townsville.[1][unreliable source] They are an independent founding wasp species, and they build new nests each spring.[2] They can be helpful because they control insect pests in gardens.[3]
