Vespidae http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vespidae Some type of social wasp. I don't know the genera all that well - but it is possible it is a Polistes. Was it near a nest? You can google "vespidae nest" and look at images and see if there is anything that looks similar. The nests can be indicative of certain genera.

Polistes flavus is an American species so it can't be. In my opinion it could be P. hebridensis, a species endemic of Vanuatu.
Cool.. Thanks John...
