    “Wasp” is an entire family of insects; there are a bunch of them. Where I live, we do have both yellow jackets and hornets (and call them as such), but when somebody says “wasp” they’re typically referring to a red paper wasp (this or this – I was unaware there were two different kinds until just now, BTW).
