i have been looking for pictures of yellow jackets since i found a nest at work, the problem im having is that what i found i thought were yellow jackets, but its seems they are not. the look just like what i see in these pics but the nest of them at work, they are yellow and red instead of yellow and black, or white and black, just wondering if you have seen these types or might know a a website to help me figure out what type these are? thanks

WONDERFUL images!!! although, i feel that the image that you have labeled as "queen aerial yellow jacket" is realy a V. flavopilosa queen. It looks identical to the "queen of the yellow haired yellow jacket". Note the two yellow marks on the top of the thorax that D. arenaria doesnt normally have.

Thank you for the photos. I'm inundated by these nasty little biggers every summer and they always want to nest in a narrow area on my homes exterior. I keep destroying their nests and they got smart (or desperate) and built one inside the frame of the carriage lamp on the south side of my garage. And another nest now the size of a large orange beneath the upermost eave of the roof on the second story. I finally got stung three times a few days ago. Can't get rid of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
