Ropalidia marginata is an Old World species of paper wasp. It is primitively eusocial, not showing the same bias in brood care seen in other social insects with greater asymmetry in relatedness.[1][2] The species employs a variety of colony founding strategies, sometimes with single founders and sometimes in groups of variable number.[3] The queen does not use physical dominance to control workers; there is evidence of pheromones being used to suppress other female workers from overtaking queenship.[4]
