AbstractPolistes mandarinus makes a nest usually on twigs or under leaves of broad-leaf trees, in which comb color is mainly light grayish-yellow and cocoon caps are bright yellow. When the foundresses made nests on twigs of Japanese cedars, wasps used a cedar needle leaf as a core of the pedicel, which might result in reduced amount of oral secretion used in pedicel enlargement. Plant fibers applied to the yellow cocoon caps covered them up, which appeared to make nests less conspicuous in cedar trees.
