This wasp, brought from Europe in the mid-1800s, makes its nest of hexagonal cells inside hollow trees. Wasp nests are paper, made of the partly digested wood and plant fiber. Hornets may come out from their nests at night and cluster around sources of light. Like other wasps, hornets have a painful sting.
