Vespula pensylvanica, the western yellowjacket, is a Nearctic species of wasp in the genus Vespula. [1][2] It is native to regions of North America, largely in areas with northern temperate climates. Its reproductive behavior is constrained by cold weather, which successfully reduces the number of western yellowjackets in cold months.
