Bald-Faced Hornet

Bald-faced hornets, recognized for their robust build and distinct black-and-white appearance, are commonly found in wooded regions and near residences. These aggressive insects construct expansive paper nests, often affixed to trees, shrubs, or building eaves. Known for their defensive nature, bald-faced hornets vigorously protect their nests, posing a risk to individuals and pets if disturbed. Accurate identification and cautious avoidance of their nests are imperative measures to prevent stings and manage hornet populations.
