Sorry about poor quality.

I tried to show the size, hence the 2p

TWO QUEENS ;)
 
Nope its a queen wasp. Like i said dad kills em.

Have you ever seen small sized golf ball wasp nests?

If you have that is where the queen hides over winter and upto 10 drones
 
There's nothing little about that :eek:

I found one in the loft once - sounded like an electrical substation flying around. I did my best to destroy it as quickly as possible and luckily the meganest in the corner had been vacated :eek:
 
So wasps are like bees in that only one in each hive reproduces (the queen) and all of the others are drones, the drones are smaller and male (I think they are male?).

ah i see, I just did some research too. Looks like wasps attack bees and they try to enter their hive to eat their young. Wasps hives are made out of paper by chewing wood.
 
i think its a hornet too, from what i know hornets arent that aggressive .. but then again if i was trapped in a cup..
 
I saw one of those today!, tried to wack it some and feed it to a large spider.. It came back to it's senses and attacked me, we both failed

lol
