  1. Mischocyttarus phthisicus is a locally abundant social wasp in Puerto Rico with little known of its natural history. Using our own on-site observations and citizen-science reports from iNaturalist, we compiled data on and described this species’ occurrence, nesting biology, and colony size. To understand the degree of its climatic specialization, we also compared thermal tolerance across elevations. Nests were most often found on the undersides of broad leaves and were comparable in size to nests of congeners, though likely slightly larger. Heat tolerance, but not cold tolerance, changed with elevation, a result which does not follow Brett’s rule.
