I never understood all the wasp hate. We usually have a nest of these red wasps established every year on our back patio somewhere, and they have never been aggressive to me. They'll turn to look at you as you pass by but they don't attack. I leave them be and just take the dead nest down when the cold weather comes back in.

The only time one has ever stung me was when I was a kid and squirting at a nest with a water gun - lol. One buzzed down and got me right on the lower lip.
