Cluster of paper wasps guarding an open-celled nest beneath a brick ledge on a home's exterior in Frisco, Texas, during late summer.

Paper wasps clustered on an open-celled nest tucked beneath a brick soffit on a home’s exterior in Frisco, Texas, in August. Colonies defend aggressively and stings can be severe, especially near doors, patios, or eaves. Professional removal and preventive treatment of eaves and entry points are recommended.
