Belonogaster petiolata

''Belonogaster petiolata'' is a species of primitively eusocial wasp that dwells in southern Africa, in temperate or subhumid climate zones. This wasp species has a strong presence in South Africa and has also been seen in northern Johannesburg. Many colonies can be found in caves. The Sterkfontein Caves in South Africa, for example, contain large populations of ''B. petiolata''. 〔Keeping, Malcolm G. "Social Behavior and Brood Decline in Reproductive-phase Colonies Of ''Belonogaster Petiolata'' (Degeer) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)." Journal of Insect Behavior 10.2 (1997): 265-78. Web. 20 Sept. 2014.

This species primarily eats small insects, especially caterpillars, which are considered its "solid food", while nectar is its liquid food. It also requires water for survival.〔Keeping, Malcolm G. "Social Organization and Division of Labour in Colonies of the Polistine Wasp, ''Belonogaster Petiolata''." Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology 31.3 (1992): n. pag. Web. 20 Sept. 2014.〕
==Taxonomy and phylogeny==
''Belonogaster petiolata'' belongs to the genus ''Belonogaster'', of the subfamily Polistinae, and is closely related to ''B. juncea'' and ''B. grisea''. ''Belonogaster'' wasps are part of the family Vespidae and the order Hymenoptera.〔"Animal Diversity Web." ADW: ''Belonogaster Petiolata'': CLASSIFICATION. N.p., n.d. Web. 20 Sept. 2014.〕 Species in this family display a full range of social organization, from completely solitary to highly eusocial life cycles. Many of ''B. petiolata'' characteristics are very similar to those of ''B. grisea.'' In both species, the production of smaller, unmated worker offspring reaches a maximum before the production of larger queens who leave the nest and mate.〔Keeping, M.g. "Morpho-physiological Variability and Differentiation of Reproductive Roles among Foundresses of the Primitively Eusocial Wasp, ''Belonogaster Petiolata'' (Degeer) (Hymenoptera, Vespidae)."Insectes Sociaux 47.2 (2000): 147–54. Web. 20 Sept. 2014.〕
