the ground below where the nest is hanging. Using a hooked stick to detach the nest from its connection site, the nest is detached from the plant and immediately placed in the fire. Once in the fire, the adult insects evacuate as quickly as possible while the larvae die as they are toasted. The combs with the toasted larvae inside are then removed from the fire and brought home. The larvae can be considered celebratory food, and when a boy is newly born it is the father’s duty to collect a nest alone.

nests are built in specific places in which they are less susceptible to attack by arboreal ants or vertebrates. The placement of the nest not only aims to reduce predation, but also to provide protection from extreme weather. Nests are most often built on the underside of large leaves, which protect

live in regions with a defined dry season, the dry season is the non-nesting phase of the colony cycle. During this period, wasps leave the low elevation habitats in which they normally nest and reproduce during the rainy season, and move to cooler areas at higher elevation. The aggregating wasps are

and the Indians can recognize the nests as being low to the ground in second-growth vegetation.

Communication is a critical for any species and can benefit both the sender and receiver of information. Some wasps have high visual acuity and use recognition of facial patterns to establish dominance hierarchies; however,
