Fig. 1. Number of foraging trips performed by Ropalidia marginatanumber of trips made by the water foragers was much greater than that by the other foragers (see Table S1), and inclusion in this graph would have made wasps from three nests (N17, N18 and N2
Fig. 3. Change in the proportion of time wasps spent on foraging with age.Foraging time was measured as the time spent outside the nest
Fig. 4. Change in average foraging duration with age. Average foragingduration per trip was also explained best by a Holling type IV function (solidline), which is characterised by a rapid initial ascent and, after reaching a peak,a gradual descent
Fig. 5. Change in foraging success with age. Foraging success, calculated as the ratio of the number of trips in which the wasp brought food to the total numberof trips made by the wasp, increased linearly with age (P<0.05)
