Yes, the paper wasps (genus Polistes) (see first link).
Update: I've found another one. There is a beetle that belongs to family Dermestidae and is called "Tissue paper beetle". Its cientific name is Thylodrias contractus (see second link).

Well, there are paper tigers. Or are you restricting your answers to the "real" world?
