Eumenes is a genus of
wasps in the subfamily
Eumeninae. It is a large and widespread genus, with over 100 species and subspecies occurring worldwide. The genus was first proposed by
Pierre André Latreille in 1802, with the type species later designated by Latreille in 1810.[1][2][3] All species make
jug-like nests out of mud, usually attached to twigs. The
larvae are fed with caterpillars.[4]
