About True Wasps
The subfamily Vespinae contains the largest and best-known eusocial wasps, including true hornets, and the "yellowjackets". The remaining genus, Provespa, is a small, poorly known group of nocturnal wasps from Southeast Asia. One genus, Palaeovespa, has been described from the Eocene fossil record, from Colorado.
