Description
The baldfaced hornet is named for its different markings from other yellow jackets. It is a wasp, and is noted for its black and white head and three white stripes at the end if its body.
It is one of the larger of the species Dolichovespula maculata.
These insects create egg shaped paper nests layered with hexagonal combs covered by a mottled gray paper envelope.
They are omnivorous and thus are beneficial to gardens, eating pesky flies, caterpillars and spiders. they are carnivorous and consume meat, fruit and insects, as well as drinking nectar from flowers.
This baldfaced hornet is dining in my garden and I am glad he is part of the natural environment we try to protect.
