This fall, an aggressive Central American yellowjacket species is becoming more prevalent as other insects decline. Known for their size and ferocity, these yellowjackets turn to humans for sustenance. Their underground nests can reach nine feet in length, and they fiercely defend them, swarming if disturbed. They can sting multiple times without leaving a stinger. For relief from stings, applying mud or toothpaste may help reduce pain and venom effects.
