Abstract
Habitually used hibernation sites of paper wasps are marked with venom and cuticular peptides. This is the first definitive report of a peptidic pheromone in social insects, strongly suggesting that dominulins (peptides of the venom of Polistes dominulus) are cues indicating the location of safe hibernacula from one generation to the next.
