This is video of a Ringed Paper Wasp. It has the charateristic deep red / maroon colored upper body. The abdomen has a slim yellow ring wrapping around its waist area. The black antennae have yellow-orange on the ends and its legs have bright yellow coloring. It is considered a social wasp and creates its nests by mixing wood pulp with its saliva. The wasps defend their nests violently. The wasps can sting, repeatedly. If one of their nests is found in an inconvenient place, professional exterminators can be contacted to remove it.
