Question: what is the difference between a queen wasp and a hornet?
Answer: On the right is a queen paper wasp building a nest. Hornets are generally a little chubbier and larger than their svelte wasp brethren, and some species forego common yellow and-black striping for white and black markings. ... "Hornets are predators [and] scavengers, as are most wasps," says Gibbs.
