Social wasps are generalist predators that play key roles in biological control and also contribute to pollination. However, when foraging in contaminated agricultural fields and surrounding areas, they are exposed to a wide range of insecticides, similarly to bees, and therefore share similar exposure pathways. Previous studies have shown that Polybia paulista is more sensitive to the insecticide thiamethoxam than several bee species, including Apis mellifera. Among the different classes of insecticides, phenylpyrazoles such as fipronil are widely used in pest management due to their neurotoxic mode of action and systemic activity. However, their effects on social wasps remain poorly understood. Therefore, this study tested the hypothesis that chronic exposure of P. paulista to sublethal concentrations of fipronil reduces survival and affects mobility. The mean lethal concentration (LC50) was determined and used to define sublethal concentrations (LC50/100 and LC50/10). Survival was monitored until death to estimate the mean lethal time (LT50), and mobility was subsequently evaluated. Exposure to both.
