Definition
Vespula is a genus of social wasps, commonly known as yellowjackets. These wasps are known for their black and yellow markings and their aggressive behavior when defending their nests. Vespula species build nests from paper-like material, often underground or in cavities. They are opportunistic feeders, consuming both insects and human food. Think of them as the party crashers 🎉 of the insect world, always showing up where food is available.
