I'm not too keen on wasps since one managed to find its way inside my jacket while I was riding my motorbike - it stung me on the chest about five or six times before I could pull over and squash it :mad:
 
That grill thing (what ever its called) is 9mm or so... God that is a big wasp.

(I couldn't see it, as the sun is on the monitor so edited the brightness poorly.)

Queen or Hornet.
Just roll up a newspaper and squash it. The worst it can do is sting you and the worst that can happen after that is that you have an alergic reaction and die painfully. I guess it might eat you afterwards as well or make a hive in your skull.....

It is certainly a biggy though lol, run for your life....

You'd have to close your windows and doors then. Apparently if you kill wasps and bees they burst a load of pheramones into the surrounding air. Ones that others of it's kind read as "I'm being attacked - KILL KILL!!!!!"

That's a bit harsh, surely you shouldn't have stuck it in if you didn't want children?

Its gone now!! Damn it was looking forward to a wasp smoothie, coulda mixed it with the remains from my sparrow smoothie....yummmm cocktail!

Only if you're lucky. The rest of the time they chew your arms off after paralysing you with their laser vision.
A hornet sting hurts like merry hell though, FAR worse than a bee or wasp.
