Resumo
Social wasps nest in different plant species, however, information regarding the possible preference for certain types of plant substrates is scarce in different Brazilian ecosystems. In this panorama, the present study aims to obtain information on nesting of these insects in Deciduous Forest areas. The work was carried out in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, from June 2014 to April 2015. Using the active search methodology, 128 colonies of 18 species distributed in 12 genera of nested wasps in 30 plant families were registered. The choice of social wasps by the nesting substrate is influenced by the ecological complexity of the environment.
