Brave Critters of Ainsworth

Some brave critter (skunk? raccoon?) came by in the night and dug up a yellowjacket nest in my yard.

I knew the yellowjackets had built a nest in the ground by that old elm stump last summer, but I didn't know how big it was.

And to think I mowed around there all summer without getting stung. It seems the yellowjackets of Ainsworth are pretty mild-mannered.
