Vespa simillima
The yellow hornet (''Vespa simillima''), including the subspecies known as the , is a common hornet species in the Eastern Hemisphere. It should not be confused with the Asian giant hornet (''Vespa mandarinia''), whose subspecies ''V. m. japonica'' is sometimes referred to as the Japanese giant hornet.
==Predators==
Due to the great scale of the swarm and aggressiveness of the yellow hornet, predation against yellow hornet by other hornet species are rare. However, along with other insects in Japan, they are prey to the Japanese giant hornet. Since this predator is prey to the much bigger hornet, its nests have been known to be deserted after giant hornet attacks. The yellow hornet only attacks when their chance comes as they outnumber their giant enemy, which attacks alone.
Different type of predator from hornet species for yellow hornet is ''Vespa dybowskii''. Unlike the Japanese giant hornet, predation against yellow hornet of ''Vespa dybowskii'' is parasitic. In the early stage of nest, the queen of the ''Vespa dybowskii'' tries to attack the queen of other hornets, including yellow hornet and European hornet. If the assault succeeds, it will steal the nest and all of the workers of the former owner turn into slavery.
