- Hornets
Hornets are mostly known to be laid back wasp species but we still add them to the most aggressive list. They in fact do not seek out people or animals to show their aggression but can be very aggressive when they feel threatened by your presence. if you get close to their nests they will be ruthless with their aggression and attack you repeatedly to put you in hospital. They are capable of piercing even thick clothing as they have powerful stingers. They could even cause death when they attack in a swarm.
- Paper Wasps
Paper wasps are territorial, aggressive and predatory. They have the tendency to return to the same spot where their nest was destroyed and being territorial they do not like human getting close to their nests. They will attack if you are within the range of their threat perception. Their sting or bites are extremely painful and are known to aggravate allergies in people who are averse to wasp venom. Unlike honey bees they can sting or bite repeatedly without losing their mandibles or stingers. Each stab of the stinger ejects venom in to the victim thus increasing pain and suffering.
- Bald-Faced Hornets
These are most irritable types of hornets and their characteristics are very similar to yellow jackets. They don’t like vibrations and can sense them through air, trees and walls and they have reportedly attacked people handling lawn mowers as their vibration drive them to frenzy. Their aggressiveness does not stop with stinging people who come near them but also chase them and attack them. it is very unwise to flail your arms while running away from them because the motion aggravates their anger and make them more dangerous.
- Warrior Wasps
These are larger species of wasps and are notoriously aggressive. They will show their aggression by rhythmically producing a drumming sound by scrapping their nest. This they do to ward of intruders and avoid confrontation. They have a draw back with their stingers as they are barbed and detachable after a sting. The sting can be excruciatingly painful and can last up to 2 hours assuming torturous proportions. These wasps however die after their stingers are dislodged from their body. They best left on their own if you ever encounter them.
- Yellow Jacket wasps
Yellow jacket wasps can be termed as the most aggressive and you are most likely to be get stung in your backyard by them if you are living in North America. They sting their victims repeatedly and even bite them in extreme anger. When it gets chilly outside and food becomes scarce yellow jackets become agitated with hunger. They vent their anger on people and animals and even massacre large colonies of beehives in order to steal food and quench their hunger. This is one wasp species that you don’t mess with as it can live both under and over the ground and attack you when they feel you are a threat.
