Yellowjackets have their nest underground. I was pounded once when mowing my grandma's yard, it wasn't fun.
Red wasps have a powerful sting. I found out the hard way. I was getting rid of junk around my home. One of the items
was an old bbq grill we no longer used. Red wasps used it to make a nest. Their sting hit me hard. Their sting is greater
than a yellow jacket. Trust me. Their visible nest they are cool. Just don't attack it .
