Apoica is a genus of eusocial paper wasps found throughout the Central and South American tropics. These wasps are truly nocturnal, carrying out their foraging activities after the setting of the sun. They prefer to construct their nests, which have an open comb like many paper wasps, under large leaves, or in shrubs. During the day, wasps covering the comb fan their wings to cool the nest, keeping it at a suitable temperature for larval development. When attacking prey, Apoica release a drop of venom from their stings, which in turn attracts any nearby wasps to attack.

- Apoica es un género de avispas de la familia Vespidae. Se encuentran en los trópicos de América central y Sudamérica. Son animales nocturnos que realizan el forrajeo de noche después que baja el sol. Prefieren construir nidos abiertos, bajo hojas grandes o en arbustos. Durante el día las avispas baten sus alas haciendo circular el aire para regular la temperatura del nido y evitar el calentamiento de las larvas. (es)
