Bald-faced hornet
The Bald-faced hornet (Common names White-faced hornet or Bald-faced yellowjacket) Dolichovespula maculata is not a true hornet at all. It is actually more closely related to another type of wasp called the yellowjacket than it is to true hornets like the Asian giant hornet or European hornet, but the term "hornet" is often used colloquially to refer to any vespine with an exposed aerial nest.
