Polistes canadensis

''Polistes canadensis'', commonly known as the red paper wasp, is a Neotropical, primitively eusocial wasp. A largely predatory species, it hunts for caterpillar meat to supply its colony, often supplementing its developing larvae with nectar. The most widely distributed American species of the genus ''Polistes'', it colonises multiple combs, which it rears year-round.
