Yellowjackets also build paper nests but they’re enclosed unlike the exposed nests of paper wasps

Thanks for pointing it out! It’s true that yellow jackets build enclosed paper nests, while paper wasps have open ones.

A paper wasp’s sting barely even hurts, a yellow jacket’s sting is 5X more painful and hurt for hours.

We'd prefer to avoid being stung by either 😆

As a Brit, there was absolutely no confusion on which was the yellow jacket... dealt with too many of them in my life...

Good identification tips, although as a warning there are 13 species of yellow jackets in the Midwest U.S. including the bald faced “hornet” which despite its name, being black and white and also making paper nests, they actually are yellow jackets. Some species burrow and nest underground, some reuse existing tunnels made by mice, snakes and rabbits, some like the German species nest above ground in opportunistic places such as stumps, low lying bushes, the crevices of fire wood piles, nooks in walls and in between walls (which is why you never want to plug the entrance/exit to a nest in your walls because it will cause them to angrily go deeper into your house and spread out more through your walls), things like grills that haven’t been used for long enough, even cars can hold nests big enough to house a thousand workers…I was checking out this seemingly abandoned, rusting ‘50s pickup that I found while riding around on a bike as a kid and noticed they built a really big nest under the hood. By the markings on the thorax, abdomen and around the eyes, the first picture looks like the German species and the second looks like either an Eastern or a hybrid between Eastern and German.

Only Female paper wasps have stingers. The males just swarm and bite.

Oh no! Keep an eye on it and be sure to seek medical attention if you have a severe reaction to the sting.

Yellowjackets are paper wasps, and both of these are Yellowjackets. It’s just a nickname.

Yellowjackets vs. Paper Wasps 🐝 Yellowjackets: Aggressive, robust, nest underground, bright yellow & black, short antennae, thicker waist, and short legs. Will attack for no reason! Paper Wasps: Less aggressive, slender, umbrella-shaped nests, brown with yellow highlights, long antennae, elongated waist, and longer legs. Yellowjackets have large, aggressive colonies, while paper wasps form smaller, less aggressive groups.
