Western yellowjacket
The western yellowjacket is a social wasp with a yellow and black body. It lives across the western half of North America and has spread to the Hawaiian Islands, where it is considered a major pest. Its colonies can grow very large in places without cold winters.1

Uko wayimenya
- Yellow and black pattern, typical of social wasps in the genus Vespula1
- Most females have a continuous yellow ring around each eye, known as an eye-loop1
- A diamond-shaped black mark on the first tergum (the upper plate of the abdomen)1
- Nests are made of wood fibres and enclosed in a paper envelope, with an entrance tunnel of 10 to 30 cm at the bottom1
Ikunze kwitiranywa na: It is often misidentified as V. germanica, which has a similar diamond-shaped black mark. The continuous yellow eye-loop around each eye usually tells the western yellowjacket apart, though males often lack it.1

Niba itera urubori
- Kuramo urubori rw'uruyuki uruharura, kandi ukonjeshe aho rwateye.
- Niba umuntu ahumeka bimugoye, akabyimba mu maso cyangwa mu muhogo, cyangwa akumva agiye guta ubwenge, ni ikibazo cyihutirwa cya aleriji: hamagara nimero y'ubutabazi kandi ukoreshe urushinge rwe rwa adrenaline (adrenaline pen) niba arufite.
Buri gihe banza uhamagare nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911). Izi ni inama rusange z'ubutabazi bw'ibanze, si inama za muganga. Ibanze by'ubutabazi bw'ibanze
Irinde akaga
- Ntuzigere ukora, ufata cyangwa ushotora inyamaswa yo mu gasozi, nubwo yaba ntoya, kandi nubwo yasa n'isinziriye cyangwa yapfuye.
- Yihe umwanya. Niba uhuye n'imwe, tuza, usubire inyuma buhoro buhoro kandi uyireke yigendere.
- Niba imwe igutereye urubori: tuza, ntunyeganyege, hamagara nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911) cyangwa ujye ku bitaro vuba. Ibuka uko yasaga, ifoto irafasha.
Ntigushakisha ngo ikugirire nabi. Ikoresha ubumara bwayo kugira ngo ifate ibyo kurya cyangwa yirinde, kandi ikunda cyane kwihisha. Ibindi ku kwirinda

Ibintu by'ukuri
Workers settle dominance within the nest by mauling, where one wasp chews on another that stays still.1
In Hawaii, the western yellowjacket has become so invasive that it is labelled a major pest.1
The nest is kept cleaner than those of many other social wasps, with waste, prey remains and dead larvae removed.1
Only the inseminated queen survives the winter, entering diapause (a resting state) until spring.1
Most foraging happens close to the nest, usually within about 335 metres, though some trips reach about 550 metres.1
Cold weather limits the number of western yellowjackets, but in places without cold winters their population can grow very quickly.1
