Re: Habits of wasps (yellow jackets)

We had some that built a nest near our front door. One day I opened the door and walked in as usual, only to feel a sharp burning sensation on my back. I felt it again and realized something was stinging me and threw my shirt off. One more sting in the back and then I saw the yellow jacket fly off as I closed the door.

I've been stung in the face by a wasp before. It wasn't even close to as painful as the yellow jacket.

This is why their stings hurt so much They have a nasty stinger

"Yellowjackets have a lance-like stinger with small barbs and typically sting repeatedly, though occasionally the sting becomes lodged and pulls free of the wasp's body..."
