That's photoshopped. Right? Right? I don't know about that particular picture. I have seen a squirrel catch and eat a lizard. I have also seen them eat cow-pie. A squirrel is really a rat with good PR.

i don't know what kind of species of yellow jackets we have in our area, (South Jersey) For all I know they may be wasps but they are very large about two inches in length and the marking of a yellow jacket.
Last summer while remodeling my house the construction worker stirred them up from somewhere.
Two of the guys got stung and both wound up in the hospital.
My neighbor about 5 houses down got stung this summer and the hospital told him he had about 2 minutes left to live before his heart swelled up so large that it would burst. He never had an allergy to bee stings before and has made a full recovery. He now carries around that injection needle that gives him a grace period of about 10 minutes to reach the hospital

I remember a squirrel at Texas A&M eating a sparrow. Squirrels are rats with good pr.. My brother calls them tree rats.

I hate those things. I wish I could kill them by shooting them.

When I was a kid, we had a swarm of them take up between two trees at the end of the house. One Saturday, a family came by selling quilts. Me and my brother took their kids, who were our age to show them the yellow jackets. Well, somebody did something to stire them up, and they chased us back to the house. We had them in our clothes, our hair, and they got inside the house. I hate them too, but not as bad as I hate wasps(not WASPs).

For all I know they may be wasps but they are very large about two inches in length and the marking of a yellow jacket. We've been seeing some kind of yellow jacket / red wasp looking hybrid around here for the last several years.
These things are about 2 inches long and red with the stripe pattern of a yellow jacket. They do NOT have a typical sting of either one, but seem to have a more potent variety of poison.
When someone gets stung, it makes a huge welt that, over time, becomes a black spot, then a hole in the skin.
We make a poultice of moistened tobacco and ice to take away some of the painfulness of the sting.

I woke up a nest walking through a field pheasant hunting in early November... it was an unusually warm and sunny day I guess. First thing I knew, I had thrown my shotgun down and was stripping off my jacket and shirt and running, throwing clothes behind me (I'm a she) and slapping myself. My then-boyfriend and the other hunters in the area were more than a little perplexed about this turn of events because they didn't understand my screams of "BEES". I was stung 6 times, I think, in the neck and armpits. Either because of the location of the stings or the number, I had quite a reaction, and my throat was closing up as we walked back to the truck. Drove to the nearest minimart and bought some Benedryl, still chuckling about the thoughts running through his head when I had thrown gun and clothes off in this maniacal display.

Try "Gunk Engine Brite"Personally, I use CRC brake cleaner, instant death!! I may rethink that though, after reading your description of Engine Brite.

That is only recently. For 40 years or so they even advertised they were the "ones in the gold coats". One of my best friends was a C21 agent an always tried to get me to work there.
I told him I hated those jackets.

i'm sure if you shoot a shotgun (regular not sawed off) at point blank when they are in their nest that' you'll get 99% of them...
