Wasp eating fly

[Sparkway]

Was watching my chickens and swatting flies when I noticed a black and white wasp catching flies and flying off with them. Anyone know this wasp and where can I get 100

Yellow jackets and some of the smaller hornets will go after fast prey like flies.

Most likely they are Bald Faced Hornets. They feed almost entirely on flying insects. I saw a couple hanging around my coop today. They can be very aggressive if you happen to go near their nest but they are good for keeping flies in check.
