FACTS I learned last week about paper wasps:

🐝 Paper wasps exist. (we did not have paper wasps in CA).

🐝 In the spring paper wasp queens emerge and look for good places to build nests.

🐝 Paper wasp queens like dark sheltered places, such as, say, a pair of garden boots left out on the porch.

🐝 Unlike yellowjackets, paper wasps will usually leave you alone unless you bother them.

🐝 Putting your bare foot into a garden boot with a paper wasp in it counts as bothering. 😬
