Wasp = big and lethal
Hornet = skinny and lethal

Midnight fire show is what those bastards need!

Get a nice molitov cocktail and introduce them to it!

Oh and hornets look like long bees... wasps are usually black and/or brown and have long long legs that dangle way down when flying....

Hornets are yellow and black, like a bee, Wasps are usually a brown/black color.

I'm no expert by far... and there's bound to be versions of the wasp I don't know about... but if you just showed me that pic I'd say it's a hornet not a wasp. :dunno:

Food for the fire either way, get rid of them ASAP!!!
