Yellow Jacket

5 years 6 months ago - 5 years 6 months ago #606580 by Troponin
Very happy about this capture. Yellow jackets are always tricky. They are both aggressive and can be very cautious about landing if you are too close. I haven’t seen many lately and this was a first in a while. 

FUN FACT!! Researchers found that the more black marks that a wasp has, the more aggressive it is. They did this by studying wasp behavior. The researchers put food out and found that the other wasps stayed away from food that had a wasp on it with a lot of black marks.
