There are many many species of wasps, but most common examples are classified
in the family Vespidae. Typical examples are:
yellowjacket: Vespula maculifrons (Buysson)
bald faced hornet: Vespula maculata (L)
paper wasp: Polistes fuscatus pallipes Lepeletier
It's been awhile since I studied any taxonomy. Hope I spelled them ok.
