Sue,

You're fantastic! That's exactly what they are. Do you know if they
would share a hive with yellow jackets? I doubt it but the tree in
front of my house is "filled" with both types. I've already told my
DF to be very careful when he goes into the attic next time. I'll
keep you all posted! Thanks for the id!

I have lots of them. They tend to build in protected areas like in inside
corners under the eves. I had some living in an seldom used gas grill.
They seem to be attracted to my cannas where they spend the day scouring the
leaves for insets. I have never had any problems with them being
aggressive.
