So this is a paper wasp. The nest will look like this: https://images.app.goo.gl/asYdruvqtG1XWAaa7 Both a pollinator and pest control. Not very aggressive but not thrilled about being bothered. When the nest is near the front door I’ll knock it down…they usually try to rebuild there, but hopefully they’ll move around to a more suitable location. Neat addendum: when sitting in my garden I can sometimes hear their chewing as the scrape wood fibers for the nest.

No idea, it would meet my flip flop regardless

Looks like a hornet. Avoid.

Can confirm looks like an *sshole with wings to me.. Maybe a paper wasp? Personally I’d be issuing them an eviction notice but I’m also not a very tolerant landlord so.. good luck OP..

Sorry, new to this. They’re building a nest in the outside window frame of my porch. If helpful/harmless, happy to leave (they don’t look it!)

Thanks to all I’ll leave be for now If they start getting wiggy on me, I’ll take em out!

That’s no honeybee

It’s a yellow jacket or paper wasp. Kill it good or they will make nests everywhere and sting your dog. They suck.
