Yellow Jackets
As indicated by their name, Yellow Jackets have a black and yellow head with a patterned abdomen resembling stripes. Yellow Jackets have a smooth body and differ from honey bees by color, aggression, and size. Yellow jackets tend to be more aggressive and continue to be more so in the early fall season as activity increases in reaction to cooler weather.
Yellow jackets build nests in the ground or in hollow areas such as eaves and attics of your home. They can be found anywhere humans can be found – they particularly enjoy invading outdoor activities where sweets may be present, which can be an issue for those that are allergic to bee stings. They also eat meat so your family picnic is far greater to find Yellow Jackets than other less aggressive insects.
Bald Face Hornets
Wasps
Paper wasp is the common name for medium – to large-sized wasps that construct nests made of a papery material. Most paper wasps measure about 2 cm (0.75-in) long and are black, brown, or reddish in color with yellow markings. They are similar to a Yellow Jacket but have a more pronounced waist and look longer and skinnier than the Yellow Jacket. Paper wasps are considered pollinators and like Yellow Jackets also eat other insects.
The nests are suspended from a single, central stalk and have the shape of an upside-down umbrella. Plant and wood fibers are collected by the wasps, mixed with saliva, and chewed into a paper-máché-like material that is formed into the thin cells of the nest. The nests are constructed in protected places, such as under the eaves of buildings or in dense vegetation. Normally a colony of several to several dozen paper wasps inhabit the nest.
Mud Dauber is another common wasp in the NW and while similar in appearance make nests of mud under eaves, deck railings, and on the undersides of structures. Mud Daubers do eat other insects so there is a beneficial side to them although if near living quarters should be removed due to stinging of humans or pets.
