Mustard yellow paper wasps (Polistes) are more slender than bees and have a severe constriction between the thorax and abdomen. Their legs are narrow and cylindrical. Wasps are predators and feed on other insects and spiders. However, they can sting if threatened. These Wasps live in this can.. I found the hive after I kicked the can (of course) lucky for me they had no reason to sting me so I stuck around and took a few pictures. From a few feet away it's almost impossible to see the small hive.. I should stop kicking cans, next time I might not be as lucky
