Wasps-Ouch

I second those nasty yellow jackets. I was mowing an elderly couples yard when I ran over a hole in the ground that must have been a nest. I felt a sting on my leg and looked down but didnt see anything. Then i felt 3 more stings and sure enough saw some yellow jackets. Made a dead sprint to the door but they even managed to get me right between the eyes and my underarm.

The old man was having a blast pouring gasoline and lighting them on fire :P

You've never had a run in with a yellow jacket?

Yellow jackets, bald-faced hornets and paper wasps construct their nests in the ground, in trees, under eves and inside wall voids and attics.

I "found" a nest of these last summer right in the backyard. They got the best of me before I could escape, stripping along the way. Damn things were still in my pants legs giving my bluejeans what for.
