Summary
Polistes is a genus of social wasps commonly known as paper wasps. They are found in various parts of the world, including North and South America, Europe, and Asia. These insects are known for their distinctive slender bodies and long legs, with colors ranging from brown to black, often with yellow or red markings. Polistes wasps build their nests out of paper-like material, which they create by chewing wood fibers and mixing them with saliva.
