The most vicious wasp is the Texas Red Wasp, which will attack you even if you walk by it without realizing you did!

There are also black wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets, or "cicada killers."
I have been stung by a black wasp because they thought I was invading their nest, which was in a play-set at a friend's house. To help suck out the venom (not life threatening) I cut a lime (lemon works too) and placed it on the spot where it stung me. Then my dad went out to spray the nest and got stung twice on his ear.

Wasps are most active in the spring and summer down in Texas. At my house, we always have wasp spray ready just in case!
One more thing: never purposely aggravate a wasp, or there will be consequences!
