When mowing my grass I seem to always find red ants and poison ivy . Hate them both !

Paper wasps (Pollistes) are the most mellow. I think hornets are the meanest. I despise red wasps, but I have some around the house in a few spots and they aren't aggressive towards me. I'm not a fan of yellow jackets.


Not up here in the north unfortunately.

Paper wasps are nasty mean where I live, and unfortunately the only wasp I’m allergic to; so far only my face swelled up, but thanks God for Epi-pens!

Red wasp and it’s not really a debate. Burns like a MF when stung, feels like someone holding a lighter to your skin.

Thankfully I have never had to deal with hornets. So my opinion on this can be taken as incomplete but in my experience yellow jackets are some vicious little MFers
