BEES
The three most common types of stinging insects are Bald Faced Hornets (Dolichovespula Maculata), Paper Wasps (Polistes Dominulus, and Yellow Jackets. Yellow Jackets are either aerial-nesting (Dolichovespala Arenaria) or ground-nesting (Vespula Maculifrons).
Aerial-Nesting Yellow Jacket
The Aerial-Nesting Yellow Jacket is smaller in size than the hornet. It has a hairless body with a black abdomen and yellow stripes. Its nest location, size, and shape are like the Bald-Faced hornet. The Ground-nesting Yellow Jacket is about ½ to 5/8 inch long and is mostly hairless. It has black with bright yellow markings on the sides of its head, thorax, abdomen, and legs. This type of insect builds its nest in the ground or at ground level.
Paper Wasp
The Paper Wasp is ½ to 1 inch long and is reddish-brown to black with yellow rings around its abdomen. A single stalk can resemble an upside-down umbrella.
