A yellowjacket
Vespula maculifrons
Black and yellow wasp
Yellow and black head
Most common of the species
Smaller than most wasps
Nests built underground
Living in colonies of
Hundreds or thousands
Be careful by nests
They will protect like Police
Watch out for the Sting
Sting for protection
Over and over again
Won’t die like a bee
Are they a pest? No
They actually kill pests
Are they a pain? Yes
