A sting from this wasp is rated as traumatically painful, and such stings often need some medical attention.1

E etsang ha e tshohile?

When disturbed, many workers leave the nest to display or sting. They raise their abdomen upright in a behaviour called gaster-flagging, and they drum the nest walls to sound an alarm.1

Dintlha

1

Its sting ranks as high as the bullet ant's on the Schmidt sting pain index, which is the top rating.1

2

Army ants regularly prey on these wasps, and the wasps have been seen piling their bodies against the nest entrance to defend against them.1

3

Montezuma oropendola birds often nest in trees where these wasps are present, because the wasps' stings help keep predators and parasites away.1

4

When moving to a new nest, the wasps rub glands on their abdomen to lay a chemical trail that the colony can follow.1

5

A colony can have more than one queen at a time, and the number of queens often changes.1

The queen lays eggs in the cells of the nest. The larvae hatch about a week after the nest is finished, and they become adults around 30 days after hatching.1
