The red ones sting repeatedly. Never got stung by a black wasp.
The worst of all are yellow jackets, esp in the fall.
I’ve been stung by yellow jackets repeatedly. I’ll take them any day over red wasps. Getting stung by a red wasp is like getting hit in the head with a baseball bat...................

While in high school I was lounging on the porch one day with no shirt. I had the cat laying on my stomach and I felt something crawling on my neck. As I slapped my neck the cat was startled and flexed her claws into my stomach as the yellow jacket that I had just slapped stung my neck. To this day I despise yellow jackets. And I’m not a big fan of cats either.
