[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1710527, member: 21194"] Apparently there are regional differences in common names. What I've always called yellow jackets are definitely wasps, with the same body shape as red wasps and mud daubers, though slightly smaller, and they build nests like red wasps (see below). Maybe there's a different insect in other parts of the world that are also called yellow jackets? Hornets here build in the ground (hence the name [I]ground[/I] hornets), or I've also seen them build nests under a pile of dry grass. The only time I've seen hornets build the paper nest like I grew up seeing on cartoons was when I was in North Dakota. We don't have those in southeast Texas.
