Genus Dolichovespula
This to me looks like the work of D. arenaria, although Discover Life does not have Kansas as part of their distribution.

No way to be sure anyway

MO
This was found about 3 miles from MO border if that makes any difference as for Discover Life. You could just as easily say it was found in Missouri.
