It's a 'Hornet nest' RGN, yellow jackets nest in the ground around these parts, I've been stung by everything but a Hornet, so far the 'bumble bee' hurt the worst.

Same way up here Fossis although I have never found a hornet nest in any of our trees I have found those yellow jacket and bumble bee nests underground. I ran over one (bumble bee nest) with a riding mower and got nailed in the leg pretty good, they definitely hurt worse than a wasp.

Never knew there was money in them. I have been stung by a ton of yellow jackets and one bumble bee.The Bumble Bee did'nt bother me but a couple of those yellowjacket stings was darn painfull.

Nice pic Diggin, thanks for sharing,

I had that happen to me one time. I was cutting the grass, not really paying attention to anything and suddenly my leg was on fire. I looked down and there was a bunch of yellow jackets on my leg and then I noticed them in the air. I bailed off the lawnmower about that time and the lawnmower and most of the wasps went off into the woods cutting saplings and eventually stalled halfway up a rather large log. Unfortunately, some of them suckers got in my overalls and was having a field day on my back. My wife thought I had lost my marbles when I went inside screaming and hollering. 4 of them flew out of my clothes when I started stripping in the kitchen. Stung 12 times. Hate yellow jackets.

Re: When the leaves fall, you begin to notice what was hiding within them...
yes it is and I have become very adept at seeing them flying in and out of the ground or in a tree long before I even get to that area, out the corner of my eyes. Also, people that I was out hunting with the other day, told me that I really didn't want to hunt around the backside of the tree they were coming from. He said it was like a major airport with yellow jackets landing and taking off every 2 seconds.....NGE
