Vespula squamosa, or the southern yellowjacket, is a social wasp.This species can be identified by its distinctive black and yellow patterning and orange queen. [1] This species is typically found in eastern North America, and its territory extends as far south as Central America. [1]
Face of a southern yellowjacket (Vespula squamosa)Yellowjackets may be confused with other wasps, such as hornets and paper wasps such as Polistes dominula.A typical yellowjacket worker is about 12 mm (0.47 in) long, with alternating bands on the abdomen; the queen is larger, about 19 mm (0.75 in) long (the different patterns on their abdomens help separate various species).
The eastern yellow jacket or eastern yellowjacket (Vespula maculifrons) is a wasp found in eastern North America. [1] Although most of their nests are subterranean, they are often considered a pest due to their nesting in recreational areas and buildings. [ 2 ]
After emerging from the diapause when winter ends, the fertilized queen searches for a nest site. When it is located, a small nest is formed. The queen continues to forage for construction materials and food until four to seven workers have emerged. At this point, the queen focuses solely on laying eggs and the nest continues to expand.
A queen initiates a colony in the spring by choosing a site and building a small paper nest where it lays its eggs. Then, the eggs hatch from the brood cell and the queen feeds the larvae. [8] These larvae eventually become workers and the colony continues to grow and peaks in the summer. [8] The workers are morphologically distinct from the queen.
Vespula acadica, also known as the Forest Yellowjacket, is a North American species of eusocial wasp which is part of the "rufa" group within the genus Vespula.It is a black and yellow wasp that is found in arboreal areas and builds its nests most often in decaying vegetation like logs, but has occasionally been found to build aerial nests.

A Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) is a software system used by biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries to manage clinical trials in clinical research. The system maintains and manages planning, performing and reporting functions, along with participant contact information, tracking deadlines and milestones.
It is a prototype of a stitch-less jacket, grown from cell cultures into a layer of tissue supported by a coat shaped polymer layer. [1] [2] "Victimless Leather" was created as a sub-project of the Tissue Culture & Art Project, (also part of SymbioticA) from the University of Western Australia and showcased at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
