What is a Large Black and white striped hornet that stings multiple times?

blackjaket. *Depending on where you are located, it could be any of 4 varieties of hornet. They include the White Yellowjacket (D. albida), Northern Yellowjacket (D. arctica), Blackjacket (V. consobrina), and Baldfaced hornet (Dolichovespula maculata). We in the central states are most familiar with the Bald-faced hornet. It is sometimes also referred to as the white-faced hornet, but, like the others, is a variety of yellowjacket. Its nest is easily recognizable, what we think of as a "typical" hornet's nest, a gray "paper" structure with several layers of combs inside. A mature nest can be bigger than a basketball, usually pear-shaped, with an entrance hole near the bottom. Bald-faced hornets rarely attack a human. They are happy going about their business killing other insects, including other yellowjackets, as a source of food for their larvae. Usually, a person will assume that because of their superior size, they are more dangerous and aggressive that the Yellowjacket. Actually the opposite is true.
