<< wasps and yellow jackets >>

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.
