''Agelaia multipicta'' is a swarm-founding, highly eusocial wasp that lives in Mexico, Argentina, Trinidad and southern Brazil. It nests in natural cavities such as hollow trees and aggressively defends the nest from ants, who are brood predators. The workers and queens are morphologically distinguished by ovarian development as well as external features such as a larger petiole and gaster in the queen. Like other carrion-eating (necrophagous) wasp species, ''A. multipicta'' plays a scavenging role in the ecosystem. ==Taxonomy and phylogeny== ''A. multipicta'' is an insect of the order Hymenoptera, winged insects, and the family Vespidae, containing all species of eusocial wasps and many solitary wasps. The subfamily Polistinae, to which ''A. multipicta'' belongs, contains eusocial wasps as well as all the social wasps in the Neotropics. Four tribes are embedded within the subfamily, Polistini, Mischocyttarini, Ropalidinni and finally Epiponini, to which ''A. multipicta'' belongs. ''Agelaia multipicta'' was identified by the Irish entomologist Alexander Henry Haliday in 1836.
