How to Recognize Wasps and Hornets in Kansas, Missouri, Arizona, & Arkansas

Wasps and hornets are commonly seen around homes in Kansas, Missouri, Arizona, & Arkansas, particularly during the warmer months when they become more active. They are typically attracted to food and sheltered locations. Below are some of the species you may encounter:

• European Hornets: European hornets are large wasps with reddish-brown heads and thoraxes and yellow-and-brown striped abdomens. They typically build enclosed paper nests in hollow trees, attics, or wall voids. While they are generally less aggressive away from the nest, they will defend it if disturbed and can deliver a painful sting.
• Mud Daubers: Mud daubers are slender wasps, usually dark in color, with a very narrow waist. They create tube-like or clustered nests from mud on walls, eaves, and other sheltered areas. These wasps are usually not aggressive and prefer to avoid contact with people.
• Yellowjackets: Yellowjackets are small, fast-moving wasps with bright yellow bodies marked by black stripes. They are known for their aggressive behavior, particularly around food or when their nests are disturbed. Because they can sting multiple times, they are considered one of the more problematic stinging insects.
• Bald-Faced Hornets: Bald-faced hornets are mostly black with bold white markings on their faces and bodies. They build large, enclosed paper nests that are often suspended from trees, shrubs, or structures. These insects are highly protective of their nests and will sting repeatedly if they feel threatened.

Understanding Common Stinging Insect Nest Types

Identifying stinging insect nests early plays an important role in managing infestations. Where a nest is found can often reveal which species created it. Different insects use specific materials and construction styles in familiar locations. The following are several nest types you might see:

• Paper Wasp Nests: Paper wasps build open nests with an umbrella-like shape using a paper-like material. These nests are commonly attached under eaves or in other sheltered areas, and their exposed cells make them easy to identify.
• Hornet Nests: Hornets create large, enclosed nests with a rounded, football-like appearance made from a paper-like substance. These nests are typically found in trees or elevated locations and usually have a single entrance near the bottom.
• Yellowjacket Nests: Yellowjackets often establish nests in concealed areas such as underground burrows or inside wall voids. These nests tend to have small, hard-to-spot entry points and can support large, very active colonies.
• Bee Nests: Bees construct wax nests composed of structured hexagonal combs within protected spaces. These nests are designed to support long-lasting colonies and may remain active throughout the year, including during colder months.
