Insect or Alien? This Close-Up Look At Common Bugs Captures them in a Mesmerizing Lens

The Yellow Jacket

The yellow jacket is a predatory wasp famous for its temper. If you think the paper wasp is aggressive, you should meet the yellow jacket. This wasp will fight anything and everything that comes near its nest and has even been known to sting without provocation.

The yellow jacket is very social and is often found in swarms and will set a full on combined attack if they feel their nest is threatened. Unlike honey bees, they do not lose their stinger and therefore have the power to sting repeatedly. Imagine how much damage a swarm of these wasps can cause? The crazy part is that they will chase you for several yards, even if you jump into water. Even their stings can cause allergic reactions that may be fatal. So, I suggest you do not go near them.
