Eumenes (wasp) explained

Eumenes is a genus of wasps in the subfamily Eumeninae. It is a large and widespread genus, with over 100 species and subspecies occurring worldwide. The genus was first proposed by Pierre André Latreille in 1802, with the type species later designated by Latreille in 1810.[1] [2] All species make jug-like nests out of mud, usually attached to twigs. The larvae are fed with caterpillars.[3]
