Druon (wasp)

Druon is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Vespidae, subfamily Polistinae. Further taxonomic classification may vary depending on the source and ongoing research. Species within this genus are often characterized by [insert characteristic physical traits, e.g., specific coloration patterns, body size range, nest structure preferences]. More detailed information regarding specific species within the genus is needed to fully describe their morphology, behavior and distribution.

Distribution and Habitat

Druon wasps are typically found in [insert geographical region or regions, e.g., tropical and subtropical regions of South America]. Specific habitat preferences vary among species, but many are associated with [insert habitat types, e.g., forested areas, grasslands, or proximity to human settlements].

Behavior and Ecology
