Alright, I am at a loss and am posting my first real vanity post.
Stupid I know so try to go easy. I am trying to identify a giant hornet or bee. This thing has been hanging out on our outside light for at least 2 evenings. Tonight I had my better half take photos.
In looking at forums, I haven't really been able to identify this other than the frightening Asian Giant Hornet. I really don't want this to be that as it would have a tendency to really freak me out.
Whatever this is is about 2 inches long and at least one of its kind is active in the evening.
For some really cool pics of the monster - see here: http://www.usflagballoon.com/2007season/hornetorbee.htm

Looks like a hornet to me. But I’m no expert.

If it’s fat and slow, probably a carpenter fee.
Whack it hard with insecticide. Or harder with a tennis racket.

Abner--spray the darn thing and get rid of it before it bites someone. Then you can take it's dead little body to an expert to find out for sure what it is.
How ya doing, otherwise?

You really think it is a queen? My other half saw another one about 2 weeks ago in a totally different place. I think that is why this one caught his attention.

Give it a gun. See what it does.

Are you sure that the hornet's not actually green, with an asian driver?

Oh, what the heck, let it sting you and if you drop dead the autopsy will provide the answer.

Yup, it's a queen hornet. She won't hurt you if you leave her alone.
