#BaldFacedHornet isn't a true hornet. It's in the yellowjacket wasp family.

Just a little pop of yellow hanging out on the window. I captured this image from my Nothing Phone 2(a).

CW: Close-up photos of a yellow jacket
This appears to be a queen V. squamosa. I have no idea how she got on my windshield wiper, what she’s doing there now, or why she didn’t leave sometime during my five mile drive across town with a stop to get gas along the way. She just sat there wiggling about the whole time. #Insect #Entomology #YellowJacket

Small pleasures
Inspired by the vlog I shared earlier, posted by @ewen I went into the parched garden and took a photo of something that I have enjoyed watching lately. I provide water for birds and insects, butterflies and bees and foxes (and raccoons and coyotes and deer) so it's a joy to watch the obvious appreciation, even on the smallest scale.

When picnicking or having a snack while hiking, here's a handy tip for keeping wasps at bay! (Observe what she is drawn to, then make a #wasp 'offering'!!!)
The simple trick that stops hungry #wasps from ruining your picnic
by Seirian Sumner, August 8, 2025
"Long summer days call for picnics – but wasps often make an uninvited appearance. One quick trick can stop them from ruining an al fresco get-together.
"It's summer in the northern hemisphere and that means Sun, sea – and wasps.
A lot of us have been taught to fear wasps as aggressive insects that exist only to make our lives a misery. But with unsustainable wildlife loss across the planet, we need to learn to live alongside all organisms – even wasps. They are important #pollinators and predators of insects."A little knowledge about their natural history can help you dine safely alongside wasps.
"The wasps that usually visit your picnic are typically the common #yellowjacket (Vespula vulgaris) and the #GermanWasp (Vespula germanica). They seem to appear from nowhere. What should you do?"

Since the bald-faced hornets were getting a bad rap due to an encounter with a popular Mastodon person yesterday I thought I'd share my encounter with this one this morning before picking berries.
I slung my picking basket over a ring fixture on a post and noticed the wasp gathering wood pulp between the straps and not even flinching. I guess I'm in their good guy database. ;)

I love paper wasps.
I don’t hate yellow jackets. But they’re really terrifying near their nest!
Once, I foolishly went to see the *known* yellow jacket nest on the trail in Cape Cod. I got too close, and had to run really fast to escape their attack. Luckily, I only got bitten once, but it stung! I found a decapitated head of a yellow jacket in my t-shirt. 😳 I still have this head in my dead insect collection. 😙
