Common Species of Wasps and Hornets in Suffolk County & Nassau County

Homes in Suffolk County & Nassau County often experience visits from wasps and hornets, particularly when the weather gets warmer. They tend to be drawn to food sources and locations that offer shelter. Some species you might encounter are:

Yellowjackets

Yellowjackets are small, fast-moving wasps have bright yellow bodies with black stripes. They are known for their aggressive behavior, especially around food or if their nests are disturbed. Able to sting multiple times, yellowjackets are among the more troublesome stinging insects.

Bald-Faced Hornets

Mostly black with striking white markings on their faces and bodies, bald-faced hornets build large, enclosed paper nests often suspended from trees, shrubs, or structures. They are highly protective of their nests and will sting repeatedly if they feel threatened.

Mud Daubers

Slender and usually dark in color, mud daubers have very narrow waists. They construct tube-like or clustered mud nests on walls, eaves, and other sheltered areas. These wasps are generally not aggressive and tend to avoid human contact.

Cicada Killer Wasps

Large and robust, cicada killer wasps are sometimes mistaken for hornets because of their size. They nest in the ground, creating burrows in lawns or sandy soil. Despite their intimidating appearance, they are rarely aggressive toward people and usually sting only if handled.

Paper Wasps

Slender insects with long legs and narrow waists, paper wasps are often found around homes and outdoor structures. They build small, open-celled nests that hang from eaves, railings, and similar surfaces. While generally not aggressive, they will defend their nests if disturbed and can deliver a painful sting.

A Guide to Identifying Stinging Insect Nest Types

Identifying stinging insect nests promptly makes managing infestations more effective. Nest placement can give important clues about the insect species. Each type of insect has its own materials and building style in typical locations. Below are some nest types commonly seen:

Hornet Nests: Hornets construct large, enclosed nests with a rounded, football-like shape using a paper-like material. These nests are typically found in trees or other elevated locations and generally have a single entrance near the bottom.
Yellowjacket Nests: Yellowjackets usually build their nests in concealed areas such as underground burrows or inside wall voids. These nests often have small, hard-to-spot openings and can support large, very active colonies.
Paper Wasp Nests: Paper wasps form open, umbrella-shaped nests from a paper-like substance. They are commonly attached beneath eaves or other sheltered surfaces, with exposed hexagonal cells that make them easy to identify.
Bee Nests: Bees create wax-based nests composed of organized hexagonal combs within protected spaces. These nests are designed to sustain long-lasting colonies and can remain active throughout the year, even in colder months.
