I think it's called a paper wasp because of the way it builds a nest. Could be a hornet or a yellow jacket. No matter what the name, they've been determined to build right outside my back door. I squirted them with wasp killer and it just made them mad, but they did finally go away. Or so I thought. Neil and I were sitting on the swing on the back porch and I looked up and saw this hanging over our heads. Had my camera with me so I took his picture (with my long lens). I guess he thought if he built his nest under the eave, he wouldn't be seen. Even though they eat other insects, which can be good, I don't want anything with a stinger hanging around my porch. Now, where's my wasp killer....

Hate those things!!! It's worth it to call an exterminator to spray around your house. Only around $80.00. We went from 20 wasps trapped in our screened porch to haven't seen one since! And that was months ago. They're little "homes" are prettying amazing... how do they build them?
I hate wasps, but that one sure if pretty! We've had a lot of wasps this year around our house. We keep a can of wasp spray on the back porch. I agree with Kelly...their homes are pretty amazing.
Poor little "wasper"! :)
