That is quite a moniker!
In the 1920’s many would have said Al Capone. So what is considered the most dangerous
wasp that frequents our area? This is
thought to be the Bald faced Hornet.
Bald faced hornets are distinguished from other yellow jackets by their
white and black coloring. This should
help you know what to look for.
It has a white or "bald faced" head, which is the
source of its unique nickname. They are
notably larger than other species.
Adults average about ¾ of an inch in length. These wasps also have three white stripes at
the end of their bodies. They are
generally found in forested areas as well as in vegetation in urban areas.
Make no mistake about it…the bald faced hornet is NOT to be
trifled with! If the above description
