Wasp and Hornet - identification & comparison! UK WILDLIFE
Hornets (insects in the genera Vespa and Provespa) are the largest of the eusocial wasps, and are similar in appearance to their close relatives we know simply as wasps.
The common European hornet (Vespa crabro) is the best-known species, widely distributed in Britain and Europe (but is never found north of the 63rd parallel).
Vespula vulgaris, known as the common wasp, is a wasp found in various regions of the world including the United Kingdom, Germany, India, China, New Zealand, and Australia. It is sometimes known as the European wasp; the same name is used for the species Vespula germanica, which is also known as the German wasp.
Another name for Vespula vulgaris, used in North America, is the "common yellow-jacket".
The German wasp (Vespula germanica), and the common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) were originally native to Europe, but are now established in North America, southern Africa, New Zealand, and eastern Australia.
