The subfamily Vespinae contains the largest and most well-known eusocial wasps, including true hornets (the genus Vespa), and the "yellowjackets" (genera Dolichovespula and Vespula). The remaining genus, Provespa is a small, poorly-known group of nocturnal wasps from Southeast Asia. Collectively, the group can be found on all continents except Antarctica, and several of these wasps are invasive species, introduced beyond their native range, and can be major pests.
