I've seen it many times and thought just about everybody knew that yellowjackets and bald-faced hornets are hell on flies. Look closely and you can sometimes see the hornets catch their fly prey on the wing. Here's a link that expands on this comment: "Yellowjackets are beneficial as they mainly feed on other insects, especially flies." http://www.sfu.ca/~carmean/yellowjacket.html Regards, Rex Harrill
