Dolichovespula adulterina (Buysson, 1905)
|
Dolichovespula adulterina is a species of parasitic social wasp found in the Palearctic region. D. adulterina feeds on a variety of foods, including insects, spiders, arthropods, meat, molluscs, fruit, nectar, and larval secretions.[1] D. adulterina was formerly considered to be synonymous with D. arctica from the Holarctic region,[2] but more recent research indicates that D. arctica is a separate species.[3]
