Wasps on Jesusita Trail

there are also lizards, snakes, fox, bob cats, bees, flies, ticks, fleas, gnats, mosquitoes, ants, birds.....

I know some white Anglo-Saxon protestants and they are fine people. Sure, their business practices are sharp, but I'd hesitate to say dealing with them is unpleasant. Give them plenty of space an they make tolerable neighbors if you don't let your dog sniff their privates.

If the Wasp flies near you, just stop.... don't move, and it will fly away. Also, they may be attracted to bright colors, like orange or reds....

Did your dog disturb the nest? Wasps are not normally aggressive like yellow jackets tend to be at the end of summer.
