Not here Jon They have an incredibly painful sting. bigger than our yellow jacket and more aggressive. It could be a different species then what you have ... don't know ... we call them here wood wasps but they could be something different. I do know there is a species that has a long snout that is harmless. Not these, they are about one and a half the size of our yellow jackets and aggressive same colors only darker some are quite yellow. What the real name is I don't know. Seen them in hollow trees under roofs .. nasty
