I have a pretty bad fear of wasps. Nothing crippling, I can observe them from a distance just fine, but it does make being outside on warm, sunny days a stressful experience. I want to work on it, because I know they're just like any other animal: they're just minding their own business 99% of the time, they're not out to get you, and they deserve a place on this world as much as any other. And I know some can even learn to recognize/"befriend" people, which I think is super cool. I actually followed your blog partially because you post about wasps and I knew it would help to regularly expose myself to wasps that way.

I still sometimes freeze up or get really jumpy when I see a wasp near me. But I can tell I've been getting better. Just the other day I went to the Renaissance Festival and was carrying around a big cup of mead (a.k.a. wasp attractant) and, yeah, I was followed by a couple wasps. At one point two of them just hung out on the inside of the cup for like five solid minutes licking it clean.

If it weren't for your blog I would've been so terrified I probably would've thrown the cup onto the ground and waited from like twenty feet away for the wasps to leave. But I DIDN'T. I carried it around with me and patiently (and anxiously) waited for the wasps to fly away whenever they did show up.

It's really hard to make myself just stay still when I see a wasp near me. Earlier today I could only do so for maybe 30 seconds before I had to stand up and wait nearby for it to leave. But I'm really trying to get over that fear, and I'm slowly getting better, and I think I owe your blog quite a bit in that regard. So, thank you.

I believe the most common wasp here (at least, the one I was dealing with in those two anecdotes) is some kind of Vespula yellowjacket, probably Vespula maculifrons. So... I dunno, if you have any fun facts or pictures or videos about yellowjackets (either V. maculifrons or yellowjackets in general), I'd love to hear/see those. And if not, that's okay too <3

I think a fun fact that most don’t appreciate about yellowjackets is how much they parasitize one another!

Vespula maculifrons here is a widespread, common species in eastern North America. queens of this species do the usual overwinter under log, find a hole, make a nest deal. they scavenge, they hunt, they feed on nectar. pretty standard Vespula.

V. squamosa is a species that’s very common locally, and when you see workers out and about they act much like other yellowjackets. however, their queens (no photo) are huge, hornet-sized orange wasps quite different from the workers. curiously, V. squamosa don’t make their own nests about 85% of the time. instead, most of those big bruiser queens wait a few weeks longer to come out of hiding, and track down a new Vespula maculifrons nest founded earlier in spring. she’ll march into the smaller species’ nest, chew the original queen to pieces, and bully her daughter workers into submission. she then lays her own eggs in the nest, and produces her own workers who forage alongside the V. maculifrons workers, and over time the colony becomes only made up of V. squamosa. V. squamosa will even take over nests that have already been usurped by another facultative parasite, V. flavopilosa, which usually targets V. maculifrons as well!

in the warmera south, V. squamosa nests can become massive superstructures housing dozens of queens, used year after year. if you’ll allow me a moment of poetic speculation, most of these ancient castles must therefore contain the remnants of a tiny V. maculifrons nest at their core, the gnawed ruins of a conquered house.

Call for Public Participation

As many of you know, my company – Owlfly LLC – is working to develop a new kind of thermal insulation for buildings inspired by the way wasps construct their nests. Our insulation product (which we’ve appropriately named YellowJacket) is certified as more efficient than nearly all commercially-available fiberglass insulation, and we’re creating better prototypes every month. Last year the US government took interest in our work and awarded us SBIR grant funding for further R&D.

As part of the grant, we are required to conduct 30 interviews of potential customers. The idea is to gather information so we can fit our product to the market as best as we can prior to launch.

If you are an HVAC contractor, architect, engineer, distributor, or homeowner, we want to hear from you! Please contact me if you would like to participate in a brief interview. Every piece of feedback helps us forge the future of insulation technology!

@zombievevo submitted: Wasp friends, would love an ID on both, found in Ft Worth, TX. Second little lady was captured in a cup from inside and safely moved outside a few days ago. Guess she came back to say thanks and grab some sugary snacks

I love them both! The first is a paper wasp in the genus Polistes. I think probably an Apache paper wasp. The second looks like a southern yellowjacket!

How about Stopwatch eating some ice cream with a goat form tinky?

After Stopwatch loses a round, Tinky got them milkshakes! Getting a pep talk from an eldritch anthropomorphic yellow goat is probably pretty weird.

rewatching black friday and first of all angela giarratana is an incredible actress and i wish in my lifetime i will be able to gather even an ounce of her talent, she is incredible

but more importantly i know people have spoken about lex's monologue for years now, but after yellowjacket it just,,, oh it hurts so much more! she was going to be an actress with all of her childish confidence and hope in the world !! she might not have been the angel to break through her cliché boundaries (that line FUCKS by the way) but she was not going to give up hope for herself and hannah and ethan to have a better life flash forward to yellowjacket and in a meagre two years she has (if this story follows nmt1 canon) gotten arrested for selling drugs, moved out of her home, lost all hope of being a kid again in any way. she's given up on all her dreams in order to keep hannah safe and happy and even that she cannot do anymore, it's so painful. this lex would fall under wiggly's influence so fast, she has more holes, she needs more things and needs it harder, it's so *clenches fist bites knuckles* i could talk about alexandra foster for years she is THE character of all time

Part 4 of this set! It's always great to see the beautiful yellowjacket queens flying around in the early year, they're so much bigger than the others

Since I saw those "Hatchetfield characters played by Jon Matteson are related" posts it got me thinking, why stop at Jon?

From now on I'm gonna headcanon that the reason Grace and Lex look alike is bc Lex's father is Mark Chasity.

I spent a little while wasp watching this morning. these are eastern yellowjackets, Vespula maculifrons (translates to spot-fronted little wasp—they do have little freckles on their face!). even as the weather gets cooler, these workers are very active, although it won’t be long until the young queens disperse and the colony dies off.

they didn’t mind my presence and hardly seemed to notice me at all.
