Yellow jacket nest
Yellow jackets build nests on trees, shrubs, burrows, tree stumps, soil cavities, wall cavities, crevices, basement etc. their nest is built with the help of wood fiber that they chew and make pulp out of it. Their nest is filled with hundreds of cells where they store their babies and food. They tend to create nests that are exposed and their nests usually underground and concealed from predators and others. As the season progress the nest may grow housing 500—1,000 hornets but the nest will only last for one season. The nest may grow the size of a football with number of inhabitants and if the winter is mild the nest may last for another season.
Hornets
Hornets’ nest can be identified easily because they are mostly areal and shaped like giant tear drop. The nest is made of wood pulp and the nest will reach the size of a football when finished. Inner cells are protected by outer layer of wood pulp and a single entry point allows movement of hornets. You could find as many as thousands in a full grown hornet nest.
Paper Wasps
Paper wasps make exposed nests that look like an umbrella hanging upside down. The circular nest contains large number of cells depending on the colony and sometimes you will see more than one wasp nest by the same group of paper wasps. The nest hangs with the support of wick which is attached to ceiling, tree, eves, overhands and other solid grounds.
Mud Dauber
This vastly differs from other wasps because of its distinct black-green body color and the amazingly wafer thin mid-section that connects thorax and abdomen. These are harmless wasp that builds long horn shaped nests with the mud made out of dirt taken from nearby grounds. The nests are single cells that are designed to house just one larvae and its food.
