discussion
Discussion. This species appears to be associated with lowland tropical forests in Borneo and Sumatra (Archer 1999). It is unlikely that it would become invasive in other regions. It has very distinctive black and yellow banding on the thorax and metasoma. It is not known where V. bellicosa build their nests.
