When I was about 5 I climbed into a bunch of bamboo, the yellow jackets found me, and did they ever have fun.

When I was a kid, I was poking at some yellow jackets and one stung me on the back of the neck, when I screamed, one flew into my mouth and stung the roof of my mouth.

I think the little bastards planned it that way.

I had a yellow jacket drop down the front of my shirt, stung me, fell down to my stomach stung me again and with all the jumping I was doing fell out my slacks and stung me again on the top of my foot....they don’t quit stinging until you stomp on them....We had some get in between the cinder blocks in the old milk house....You spray and then run like hell...hubby use to sit on the porch and laugh at me. He wasn’t going after those damm things...

Yellow jackets are the second most aggressive IMO.

There's an orange colored wasp, not the dark red wasp, but orange that is about twice as aggressive as the yellow jacket.

Just get near their nest and the whole bunch comes after you and they keep coming, they will follow you.

When you say it was planned to sting you in the mouth, I don't have a doubt it was. They sting for affect.
