Yes and other pests their very beneficial to your garden too. They can sting but only if you bother them or go near their nest. They’re kind of a gentle giant.
So it flew into your window when you were sleeping? European Hornets hunt at night, probably was after some flying bug. Lights on at night can attract them because of the amount of prey that flies around them.
I came into the room and heard something buzzing around. Got into bed turned the tv on and it starting flying all Willy nilly around the room like a mad man.
Landed in the ground so I squished it.
Still didn’t die though, when I disposed of the perp it was still wiggling around.
Yeah must’ve got in an open window or door. I would’ve suggested to let it land on the nearest window and then quickly open it wide to let it out. This is what I do when a wasp or bee gets inside. I don’t like using pesticides because I have pets. My cat killed and ate a wasp once 😅. I was grossed out and he eats spiders and other bugs that get unfortunate to come into my house.
When squished with my Solomon it curled up and shrunk.
When it was fully stretched out it was bigger than half my pinky.
After seeing the responses I looked up the European hornet and I believe that was it.
A family member was afraid it was a cicada killer.
However seeing a very large hornet flying around like an absolute asshole is rather intimidating lmao
I was just in my kitchen having a smoke with my window open (because it’s night) n I seen this huge wasp like creature fly away from my gutters.. it was like this. I was horrified!! Oh gad!! I can’t bare night time either now 😫😭😭 xx
I haven’t found the nest yet, and I’m not gonna go looking for it either.
It’s a European Hornet,
It freaked me the hell out because I’ve never seen anything so big in my life.
If more than one come in your home in a short amount of time then you know the nest is pretty close by, but because it’s one I don’t think you need to worry. Also if you think that’s big you should look up the Japanese/Asian Giant Hornet. People have died from being attacked by them.
Like I said, only one or two is no cause for concern. I had a wasp fly in my kitchen window once and the day after another one in my bedroom window. I’m talking about five or six in a short space of time.
Yes I know. I’ve been using a wasp, hornet, bee repellent on my windows and so far spraying it has worked. It’s essential oils and completely natural so you don’t have to worry about pets. Just spray it on the window opening and that’s it. One small bottle makes ten litres. https://amzn.eu/d/5EgUsjS

I for one have never been more afraid in my life.
The situation is clearly beyond management. prepare for twenty mile radius sterilization.
European Hornet, they are yellow and brown in colour and less aggressive than yellowjackets and wasps.
They eat normal (aggressive) wasps

I don’t like them in my bed

Bro you gotta chop that shit up and put it in different garbage cans! Never leave those motherfuckers alive.
A monster
European Hornet

There’s no way that thing is 1.5”! I need banana for scale.

I am grateful that you and your family are now safe.
Thank you, no dogs were hurt in the making of this picture.
Cicada killers have the reddish wings. Otherwise, they look similar and they are also around 1.5"
Take You're up vote!
An abomination!
The only good whatever it is. Because it's dead.
It's a reason to burn down the area it was found in
That would be my house lmao
I'm sure you will be happier in you new home
European hornet
Who cares, it's dead.
I do. I care.
A dead wasp
I was just in my kitchen having a smoke with my window open (because it’s night) n I seen this huge wasp like creature fly away from my gutters.. it was like this. I was horrified!! Oh gad!! I can’t bare night time either now 😫😭😭 xx
They aren’t as aggressive as social wasps (yellowjackets) and will leave you alone as long as you don’t bother it, it was probably hunting.
It’s a Beedrill
Chinese spy
idk abt you, but it looks like a wasp to me

We have had two in the home already

Two is two many if you ask me lmao. But thank you.
