Vespula squamosa
V. squamosa is typically about half an inch long and distinguishable by its black body and yellow striping pattern over its entire body. This species has clear wings and a hairless body.[5] While the males and workers resemble other yellowjackets, the queen has a unique appearance. She is significantly larger than the males and workers and is more orange in color.[1] In addition, both V. squamosa and the V. sulphurea have two stripes on their scuta, which differentiates them from other species.-Wikipedia.
