A Yellow Jacket is a wasp but not all wasps are Yellow Jackets.

There was an insect buzzing my ear today and I waved my hand to scare it away. I hit and caught it so it stung my ring finger at the knuckle fold nearest my hand.

I called it a little fucker as i flicked it to the ground. I had a bit of it heiney stuck in my hand so I thought it might be a bee.

Nope.

Yellow Jackets have a barbed stinger that may be pulled out of the little asshole's body.

It burned a lot and swelled a bit. The knuckle still hurts nine hours later.

Nasty little monster.
