The warrior wasp is a large paper wasp that lives in Central and South America. It builds paper nests on tree trunks and is known for an extremely painful sting. Its colonies defend their nests together as a group.1

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

Lan lay def bu tiitee?

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

Su jamee

  • Because the sting is often traumatically painful, medical attention may be needed.1

Xibaar

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
