Yellow Jackets Vs Mud Daubers
Yellow jackets can be categorized in to 35-40 species of genus dolichovespula or Vespula are social wasps and mostly found in Northern Hemisphere. The name yellow jacket is derived from its coloration as the yellow color is predominant in the combination of yellow and black stripes on their bodies. They typically build exposed nets and some species build them in concealed places such as under your lawn or the cavity of a tree trunk. The nest size can vary from your fist size and in warmer climates go up to half a ton accommodating 4,000 numbers and above. Mud Daubers on the other hand predominantly black with faint markings and have a metallic luster on the body. These are solitary wasps that build individual nests for each of their babies that the build with mud made with dirt and saliva. They build organ pipe like nests laid side by side. They are usually range from ½- inch to 1-inch and naturally non-aggressive. They are distinctly recognized by their long body bifurcated in two only attached with a thin waist which is hair like.
Yellow jackets have a fiery temper and can sting you with or without provocation. They are also known as caterpillar eaters and when hungry can even hunt and eat whole colonies of honeybees with nectar, bees and babies. Yellow jackets are dangerous to have around home as they will barge in to you garden picnic or invade dining table without announcing and sting some of attendees with painful sting. Meat and sweet food attracts them and when food source dry up outside they search them inside your homes. You can become a victim if you try to interrupt their activities or attempt to remove their nest. They are sized 3/8”inches to 5/8”and are very much look like a hornet excepting its smaller size. On the other hand Mud Daubers are docile and do not bother inhabitants without extreme provocation. They stuff their pipe like nests with dead spiders to feed their babies, and sting only when you try to attack them directly. When their nest is disturbed or destroyed they simply move away to another location. Yellow jackets when disturbed will chase you and hunt you down and inflict painful stings causing redness and welts. Their sting can cause extreme allergies to people who are averse to their venom.
