Divine deliciousness of livin like a college student on summer break...slept in, worked out, read the paper leisurely, watched Oprah...stumbled upon the 'Summer Sizzle' fest in the Third Ward for drinks and more in the eve.
Worst Part of the Day-
OMG! Was stung by 5th wasp/hornet (still don't know the diff) of the summer and of my lifetime. Confirmed there is a wasp/hornet nest underneath the garbage can behind the garage. (Making it less of a random, strange occurrence). Boy does it sting and sting and then itch and itch.

Will you terminate the wasps? Or does your funky brand of religion hold them in the same regard as rabbits?
Wasp and hornet are somewhat generic terms - that is why we have scientific names! What most people call a "hornet" is the bald-faced hornet, which builds large - up to basketball size - paper nests in trees. Yellow-jackets are closely related and may be called either wasps or hornets. In the eastern U.S. there are 2 common yellow jackets, nearly identical in
appearance, a native one lives in the ground and a European import more likely in buildings. Bald faced hornets and yellow jackets are all in the subfamily Vespinae. Many other related insects are called wasps, often they
are more narrow-waisted than the Vespas and either solitary or have only relatively small social colonies. They include potters and paper wasps that attach small nests to buildings and many other kinds. Many more types are less well known, a good guide like the Peterson Field Guide to Insects will give you an outline.
I lifted the description from a web site. Fascinating.
