Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis (Greek: ana- ‘against’ + phylaxis ‘guarding’) is a serious, potentially fatal allergic reaction and medical emergency that is rapid in onset and requires immediate medical attention regardless of the use of emergency medication on site.
See Paper wasp and Anaphylaxis
Ant
Ants are eusocial insects of the family Formicidae and, along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenoptera.
Aphid
Aphids are small sap-sucking insects and members of the superfamily Aphidoidea.
Aposematism
Aposematism is the advertising by an animal, whether terrestrial or marine, to potential predators that it is not worth attacking or eating.
See Paper wasp and Aposematism
Beetle
Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera, in the superorder Holometabola.
Biological pest control
Biological control or biocontrol is a method of controlling pests, whether pest animals such as insects and mites, weeds, or pathogens affecting animals or plants by using other organisms.
See Paper wasp and Biological pest control
Caterpillar
Caterpillars are the larval stage of members of the order Lepidoptera (the insect order comprising butterflies and moths).
See Paper wasp and Caterpillar
Crabronidae
The Crabronidae are a large paraphyletic group (nominally a family) of wasps, including nearly all of the species formerly comprising the now-defunct superfamily Sphecoidea.

The name cuckoo paper wasp refers to a monophyletic species group of brood-parasitic paper wasps in the genus Polistes.
See Paper wasp and Cuckoo paper wasp

The Epiponini (formerly known as Polybiini) are a large and diverse tribe of social wasps inhabiting the Neotropical region, with some species' ranges extending into the Nearctic region. Paper wasp and Epiponini are Vespidae.
European paper wasp
The European paper wasp (Polistes dominula) is one of the most common and well-known species of social wasps in the genus Polistes.
See Paper wasp and European paper wasp
Eusociality (Greek εὖ eu "good" and social) is the highest level of organization of sociality.
See Paper wasp and Eusociality
Fiber
Fiber or fibre (British English; from fibra) is a natural or artificial substance that is significantly longer than it is wide.
Fly
Flies are insects of the order Diptera, the name being derived from the Greek δι- di- "two", and πτερόν pteron "wing".
Honeydew (secretion)
Honeydew is a sugar-rich sticky liquid, secreted by aphids, some scale insects, and many other true bugs and some other insects as they feed on plant sap.
See Paper wasp and Honeydew (secretion)
Hornet
Hornets (insects in the genus Vespa) are the largest of the eusocial wasps, and are similar in appearance to yellowjackets, their close relatives. Paper wasp and Hornet are Biological pest control wasps and Vespidae.
Larve
Larve is a small village in the Pulwama district of the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
Liostenogaster flavolineata
Liostenogaster flavolineata (tropical hover wasp) is an insect that belongs to the wasp family Vespidae. Paper wasp and Liostenogaster flavolineata are Vespidae.
See Paper wasp and Liostenogaster flavolineata
Microstigmus
The thin-waisted social wasps (genus Microstigmus), which typically reside in Neotropical regions from Central to South America, are a small genus of wasps that build nests and live in colonies ranging in size from 1 to 18 members.
See Paper wasp and Microstigmus
Mischocyttarus
Mischocyttarus is a very large, primarily Neotropical genus of social wasps with a few species found also in the Nearctic region. Paper wasp and Mischocyttarus are Vespidae.
See Paper wasp and Mischocyttarus
Mud
Mud is loam, silt or clay mixed with water.
Nectar
Nectar is a viscous, sugar-rich liquid produced by plants in glands called nectaries, either within the flowers with which it attracts pollinating animals, or by extrafloral nectaries, which provide a nutrient source to animal mutualists, which in turn provide herbivore protection.
Neotropical realm
The Neotropical realm is one of the eight biogeographic realms constituting Earth's land surface.

Offspring
In biology, offspring are the young creation of living organisms, produced either by a single organism or, in the case of sexual reproduction, two organisms.
Old World
The "Old World" is a term for Afro-Eurasia that originated in Europe after 1493, when Europeans became aware of the existence of the Americas.
Pest (organism)
A pest is any organism harmful to humans or human concerns.
See Paper wasp and Pest (organism)
Petiole (insect anatomy)
In entomology, petiole is the technical term for the narrow waist of some hymenopteran insects, especially ants, bees, and wasps in the suborder Apocrita.
See Paper wasp and Petiole (insect anatomy)
Pheromone
A pheromone is a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species.
Plant stem
A stem is one of two main structural axes of a vascular plant, the other being the root.
Polistes
Polistes is a cosmopolitan genus of paper wasps and the only genus in the tribe Polistini. Paper wasp and Polistes are Vespidae.
Polistes gallicus
Polistes gallicus is a species of paper wasp found in various parts of Europe, excluding England, Denmark, and Scandinavia, from warmer climates to cooler regions north of the Alps.
See Paper wasp and Polistes gallicus
Polistinae
The Polistinae is a subfamily of eusocial wasps belonging to the family Vespidae. Paper wasp and Polistinae are Vespidae.
Pollinator
A pollinator is an animal that moves pollen from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma of a flower.
Ropalidia romandi
Ropalidia romandi, also known as the yellow brown paper wasp or the yellow paper wasp. is a species of paper wasp found in Northern and Eastern Australia. Paper wasp and Ropalidia romandi are Vespidae.
See Paper wasp and Ropalidia romandi
Ropalidiini
Ropalidiini is a tribe of social wasps inhabiting the Afrotropical, Indomalayan and Australasian biogeographical regions. Paper wasp and Ropalidiini are Vespidae.

Saliva
Saliva (commonly referred to as spit or drool) is an extracellular fluid produced and secreted by salivary glands in the mouth.
Schmidt sting pain index
The Schmidt sting pain index is a pain scale rating the relative pain caused by different hymenopteran stings.
See Paper wasp and Schmidt sting pain index
Stenogastrinae
The Stenogastrinae are a subfamily of social wasps included in the family Vespidae. Paper wasp and Stenogastrinae are Vespidae.

Vespidae
The Vespidae are a large (nearly 5000 species), diverse, cosmopolitan family of wasps, including nearly all the known eusocial wasps (such as Polistes fuscatus, Vespa orientalis, and Vespula germanica) and many solitary wasps.
Vespinae
The subfamily Vespinae contains the largest and best-known groups of eusocial wasps, including true hornets (the genus Vespa), and the "yellowjackets" (genera Dolichovespula and Vespula). Paper wasp and Vespinae are Biological pest control wasps and Vespidae.
