yellow jacket
Picnic-crashing buzzer
Yellow jacket is a wasp with yellow and black stripes, known for aggressive behavior when disturbed.
Unlike honeybees, yellow jackets can sting repeatedly.
They nest underground or in enclosed spaces and become pests at outdoor gatherings, attracted to sweet foods and meat.
The term is two words, sometimes hyphenated.
