Default Re: Wasps, helpful, a nuisance and a danger...

We typically have mud dobbers & yellow jackets here. We also have small variety of parasitic wasps... which are my favorite. Each Summer though... we have these ground hornets. They are highly aggressive. Several years ago we had two large nests at my parents home. They were so heavily nested the Hornets would steal food and water from us when we would eat outside.

Took a lot of courage and bug spray to get rid of them. They seem to disappear after Summer though.

I cannot fathom how bad they can be in the mainland.
