Giant hornet or Bee (vanity)
me ^ | 9/21/07 | me

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

Of the two choices, this is the Vaspa Crabro. . Not the CK. Thanks!

See here: Snakes on a balloon...

Yep, this snake was bound and determined to hitch a ride on Sept. 12th. He finally went under the basket and couldn't find a place to get in for the flight, but if he could have found a place, he would have had a free balloon ride!
