Parachartergus fraternus (Gribodo, 1892)
|
Parachartergus fraternus[1] is a neotropical, swarm founding, polistine wasp species that is distributed throughout Central and South America.[2] They live in nests in second growth tropical dry forests, near pasture fields, roadside areas, and urban areas as well.[3] These wasps eat insects, such as caterpillars of Lepidoptera. They also drink nectar, honeydew, and water.[4] The workers capture their prey during foraging. They also use venom to paralyze their prey in order to consume it later.[3] P. fraternus wasps are not very aggressive and they do not attack when the nest is approached.[5]
