The Small Brown Paper Wasp (''Ropalidia revolutionalis'') is a diurnal social wasp of the family Vespidae. They are known for the distinctive combs they make for their nests, and they are mostly found in Queensland, Australia in the areas of Brisbane and Townsville.〔 〕 They are an independent founding wasp species, and they build new nests each spring.〔 They can be helpful because they control insect pests in gardens. However, if threatened, they will sting humans and cause large amounts of pain.〔 ==Taxonomy and phylogenetics== ''Ropalidia revolutionalis'' were first classified by Henri Louis Frédéric de Saussure in 1853.〔 〕 They are part of the ''Polistine'' tribe ''Ropalidiini'', which includes paper wasps in the Australasian region, specifically in the Lesser Sunda Islands and the northern regions of Australia.〔 〕〔 〕 They are also part of the genus ''Ropalidia,'' which is the only genus that contains both swarm-founding and independent founding wasp species. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ropalidia revolutionalis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
