Description
Larvae nestled in the hexagonal cells of a Polistes wasp nest. The queen of the nest builds these hexagonal cells from chewed up dry plant material mixed with saliva. The larvae are fed with digested insects, and fresh or rotting meat. Fully formed larvae close each cell with silk and spin a cocoon. Four to six weeks after the egg is laid the larva pupates into an adult worker, and helps to raise the next generation of wasps.
