Synoeca cyanea

Synoeca cyanea, commonly known as marimbondo-tatu, is a swarm-founding social wasp. Native to Brazil and Argentina, S. cyanea is one of the largest and most aggressive species of social wasps and is feared in many rural areas.[1] It begins its colony cycle in the early spring and continues until nest abandonment.[2] Throughout its life, S. cyanea forage sugary substances and animal carcasses for food and wood pulp for its nest.[3] S. cyanea is also known for its strong venom, which is enough to cause haemolytic activity.
