The bald-faced hornet is a wasp with a striking black and white body and a white face. It builds large, hanging paper nests in trees and bushes across North America. Its workers will defend the nest by stinging repeatedly, so it is important to keep well away from its nests.1

It lives in forested areas and in vegetation in towns and cities. Nests are usually in trees and bushes, but sometimes under rock overhangs or on the sides of buildings, from 0.3 m to 20 m above the ground. People meet it when they walk too close to a nest or when a nest is built near homes.1

  • A white or "bald" face1
  • Three white stripes at the end of the body1
  • Adults average about 19 mm long, larger than other Dolichovespula species1
  • A large, egg-shaped, grey paper nest that hangs from trees or bushes, up to 58 cm long1

Workers can squirt venom from the stinger into the eyes of animals that intrude on the nest. The venom makes the eyes water immediately and causes temporary blindness.1

It is aggressive when defending its nest. Workers sting repeatedly, and colonies can have 400 to 700 workers. The risk is highest when people walk too close to a nest or when a nest is built near homes.1
