Yellow Jacket

Yellow jacket Scientific classification Kingdom:Animalia Phylum:Arthropoda Class:Insecta Order:Hymenoptera Family:Vespidae Subfamily:Vespinae Genus:Vespula or Dolichovespula Yellow jacket is the common name in North America for predatory wasps of the genera Vespula and Dolichovespula. Members of these genera are known simply as "wasps" in other English-speaking countries. Most of these are black and yellow; some are black and white like the bald-faced hornet, Dolichovespula maculata. Others may have the abdomen background color red instead of black. They can be identified by their distinctive markings, their occurrence only in colonies, and a characteristic, rapid, side to side flight pattern prior to landing. All females are capable of stinging. Despite having drawn the loathing of humans, yellow jackets are in fact important predators of pest insects.[1]

How many times do the some mice reproduce?

How many times do the some mice reproduce? Mice are fertile every 3-4 days. Are pregnant for 20-21 days. And are VERY fertile as soon as they give birth so if you keep the male and female together she will most likely have a litter every 21days or so as long as both are interested in breeding. Also depending on the size of the snake, there may only be a small age range of mice that it can eat......and snakes dont eat very often. Yes 2 males that are not housed together since birth will fight and likely kill eachother.....and sometimes ones that are will too. If you want a companian for him but do not want litters maybe see if you can get a retired breeder female. Would be older, unlikely to mate, and if she did, would likely only have small litters.
