Eastern yellowjacket (Vespula maculifrons)


Eastern yellowjackets (sometimes misidentified as 'ground hornets') are generally beneficial insects because they prey on many various species of pest arthropods. However, they sometimes build their nests in close proximity to occupied structures or outdoor recreational areas which create the potential for a dangerous encounter. Yellowjackets will mount an aggressive, organized defence of their colony when disturbed.
