AN INTRODUCTION TO SOCIAL WASPS: (If you would like to help out, please spread the word around about this website and please send me photos for the guest gallery. Thanks!) Social wasps are the famous stingers of the insect world. We know them as hornets, yellowjackets, and paper wasps. They belong to the order Hymenoptera (which means "membranous wings"). They are closely related to ants and bees, which are also in the same order. Social wasps live together in communities called colonies. A well established colony of Polistine wasps (common paper wasps) can have two hundred or more individuals living on a nest the size of a man's outstretched hand. An underground yellowjacket nest, on the other hand, can be the size of a bushel basket and sometimes larger. A nest of this size can have five thousand or more hot tempered, stinging insects.
