I saw this thing building a hive so I took a picture of it before I sent it to hell on a shudder! Now I feel bad because it looks like she had a couple of kids. What is this thing? Wasp? Hornet? Yellowjacket?

I kill critters like that with alacrity when I see them as they like to use my pool as a source of water.
It's quite unnerving to surface and be staring face to face with one.....
I thought yellow jackets were those fat furry fuckers. And wasps were those blackish blue ones, I'd call it a hornet. If it was one of those that is about the size of a cocktail weenie then a hornet for sure. I got attacked by bees when I was a kid and I've been terrified ever since. We stood there hitting a huge bee hive with tennis rackets. We got stung something fierce. 50 yards away they still came at us. I was only 8 and stupid.
And if you can't afford alacrity wich I assume is some expensive posion, just use raid.
Def NOT a hornet... And the "Bluish" ones are Dirt Dobbers....

BTW: alac·ri·ty
Pronunciation:\ə-ˈla-krə-tē\
Function:noun
Etymology:Latin alacritas, from alacr-, alacer lively, eager
Date:15th century
: promptness in response : cheerful readiness <accepted the invitation with alacrity
damn that sucks man, that would hurt, but i'll +1 raid does work pretty well. We had a pretty nice sized garden at our last house, needless to say we had a bee/hornet problem, I just shot the little fuckers with raid, dropped them dead on the spot.Quote:

You sprayed it with poison so that puts it in the dead mother fucker category.
Yellowjacket. Come to Tx. Between those, hornets, brown recluise and fire ants our exterminators have pretty good job security. Not to mention flying roaches the size of a football.
Thats an awesome pic tho. Look like lil warriors.
That thing does look badass. Either wasp or yellowjacket, and with those black eyes you can't tell which way it's looking. They are supposed to kill other worse things, tho, and take them to the nest so the young ones can eat them alive. If they aren't bothering me or the kids, I let them live, but if the nest is too close, they're dead!
thats a demon!
Looks like an R6 :nilly:
so this transformer turns into an R6.....interesting.
Dumbed down version for our members with a less extensive vocabulary:
Me kill big flying bug as soon as me see near cement pond....
It's a European Paper Wasp female (Polistes Dominulus )

We had one of these at the pool. It's called a velvet ant, AKA cow killer.
The females are wingless and are able to sting. The winged males can not sting. They are pretty but I don't recommend petting it.

FYI: Wasps (et al) are cousins of ants. Actually it's the other way around as ants are descendants of wasp type flying critters. They just shed their wings a few million years ago.
Actually, me kill big flying bug as soon as me see it building hive next to front door so my young'ns don't get stunged.Quote:

Wait till one of those fuggers stings you.
I HATE BEES!!!! :nilly:
Waspinator...terrorizzzzzzzzzzzzze!!!!!!
wasp, they don't do any real harm unless you piss them off of course. Always attack at dawn or dusk.
I got stung on my neck by one a few years ago. 60 degree day turned to 100+ in a matter of seconds.
OBTW...found this:

Just to give yall a little tip, nothing kills bee's faster then Brake Klean. Raid, Wasp and Hornet Foam, those just piss em off. Brake Klean take em right out of the air, dead. Ive been fighting Carpenter Bees for the last few weeks (they come about 3/4 to 1 inch in length and are super aggressive, but strangely don't sting, they bite) cause they come after my kids when they play on the porch.
he's still alive!Quote:

He usually sits out there in the evenings with a tennis racket as entertainment. :DQuote:

I would have ran my @$$ off to get away. Yer a brave man. I HATE BEES!!! :no:Quote:

His motto is, "If you call me and tell me you can't do something you better be damn sure you can't do it, cause if I have to come out there and I can do it I'll make your life miserable." So yea, I pretty much had no choice.Quote:

Yeah. If I had a boss like that I wouldn't have a choice either. :giveup:Quote:

Yea, I used to do commercial roofing so I know the feeling....except we had no bee spray :lol: In the summer I keep at least 3-4 cans in my truck and it seems like I won't need em for a week or so, then I'll use 3 at one place.Quote:
