Yellow Jackets

Yellow Jackets

Yellow jackets are aggressive wasps with distinctive black and yellow markings and a sleek, slender body. They build underground nests in soil cavities or construct aerial nests in trees, shrubs, or man-made structures. Yellow jackets are scavengers and are attracted to sugary foods and meats, making them common pests at outdoor gatherings and picnics. They are known for their aggressive behavior and can deliver painful stings repeatedly when threatened. Yellow jacket stings can cause intense pain, swelling, and allergic reactions in some individuals.
