==Notable species==
* While most species of this genus inhabit North America, four ''Vespula'' species inhabit Europe, namely ''V. austriaca, V. germanica, V. rufa'', and ''V. vulgaris''.
* Two common European species, the [[German wasp]] (''V. germanica'') and the [[common wasp]] (''V. vulgaris''), have established in other countries; both species are now found in [[New Zealand]], [[Australia]], and South America, while the former has also been introduced in South America, and the latter in [[Southern Africa]].
* The [[eastern yellowjacket]] (''V. maculifrons'') and [[western yellowjacket]] (''[[V. pensylvanica]]'') are native to North America.
