Cracking the Code: Understanding Hornets and Sorting Through Insect Labels

The term ‘hornet’ is often tossed around to describe any large, intimidating, and stinging insect. However, it’s important to clarify that the label ‘hornet’ is commonly misused, grouping together various species such as the bald-faced hornet and the European hornet. Interestingly, while the European hornet is a true hornet, the bald-faced hornet belongs to the same insect group as yellow jackets.

A True Hornet Tale

Globally, there are approximately 20 species of true hornets, and only one true hornet, vespa crabo, is found in the United States. Contrary to popular belief, the European hornet is an introduced species in the U.S., hailing from Europe.
