Polistes japonicus is a eusocial paper wasp found in Japan.[2] It was first described by Henri Louis Frédéric de Saussure in 1858.[3] It is closely related to Polistes formosanus.[4] This species lives in small colonies with few workers and a foundress queen.[2][5] Nests of these wasps are sometimes used as a traditional medicine in Korea, China, and Japan.[6]
