We have the small size ground wasps here, they are generally not aggressive, you can stand by the entrance, they won't bother
you. It's fun to cover it with a bucket or something similar to see how long it takes for them to find a detour.

Like most other wasps, disturb that nest and they will attack. The small ground wasps I have encountered, even when disturbed
intentionally, will bumble all around looking for the aggressor for a little while, then calm right down, back to their
regularly scheduled program. If you had mowed over the hole, you would find out if they are the same or similar.

I have disturbed a nest without knowing it was their, one time stood on the hole, didn't know it, got 3 dozen plus stings,
which do hurt, but not so much or long, but they itch for a week !!! That one nest I did dig up with the loader bucket and
destroy. It was like the tip of the iceberg once exposed, was huge and you'd never think it could be that big.

The entrance hole on your nest is very large, surprising actually. These darned ground wasps love the dead furrow side wall or
even ground that was worked in the last year, whenever I mow over those areas, I look real good or usually get nailed at least
once in the back of the head.

In comparison, bald or white face hornets are also not aggressive if you are near the paper type nest they build, you can
stand pretty close to those, obviously use care, but at the first inkling of a disturbance they become super aggressive and
they will attack at night, they leave a sentry outside near the nest. I have stood in their flyway, they just go around, then
hit the nest with something, and quickly got away to observe. They never figured out it was me ! They calm soon, but if you
get tagged with the pheromone with those, you will get nailed hard by lots of them. I do not clear brush this time of year, or
late summer, you miss seeing one of these on an open station tractor, not good and I narrowly avoided this scenario in '04
once, nest was at face level too. Glad I spotted it, was a huge one too.
