Yellowjackets

Beware the yellow jacket. I was out in Brewster this morning and had to spend part of my time swatting away these annoying (and potentially painful) insects. Not sure what was attracting them to me since I wasn’t holding any food, but it is that time of year when yellow jackets become very active.
The insects are actually wasps. Apparently, the shortening days and cooling weather makes the buggers testy. They can be bad news for those allergic to them.
