Abstract

Camouflage is a strategy widely used by various insects in the wild. However, the use of plant material to construct nests is not a widespread habit among the Polistinae. In this study, we describe the nest of Mischocyttarus iheringi Zikán (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) with notes on the use of plant material and the wasps' behavior.
