Paper Wasps are also more reddish in color than yellow jackets and yellowjackets also have a stockier body, black antennae and shorter legs than a paper wasp.

A sting from either the yellow jacket or hornet can be potentially deadly if someone has an allergic reaction to the venomous liquid.
A yellow jacket sting is pretty painful although it's usually only painful for a few minutes and then the pain starts to go away.

Fatigue, itching, and warmth around the injection site are also common symptoms for many people after being stung by a yellow jacket.
