Agelaia multipicta is a swarm-founding, highly eusocial wasp that lives in Mexico, Argentina, Trinidad and southern Brazil. It nests in natural cavities such as hollow trees and aggressively defends the nest from ants, who are brood predators. The workers and queens are morphologically distinguished by ovarian development as well as external features such as a larger petiole and gaster in the queen. Like other carrion-eating (necrophagous) wasp species, A. multipicta plays a scavenging role in the ecosystem. Agelaia multipicta was described by the Irish entomologist Alexander Henry Haliday in 1836.

- Agelaia multipicta é uma vespa altamente eusociais, com comportamento fundador de enxames, que vive no México, Argentina, Trinidad e sul do Brasil. Elas aninham-se em cavidades naturais, tais como árvores ocas e de forma agressiva defende o ninho de formigas, que são predadores de ninhada. Os trabalhadores e rainhas são morfologicamente distinto pelo desenvolvimento ovário, bem como características externas, tais como um maior pecíolo e a porção posterior bulbosa na rainha. Como outras espécies de vespa carniceiras, A. multipicta desempenha o papel de eliminação no ecossistema.
