What kind of bug is this? (Besides flying!)

@jpayne I think it could be a black hornet wasp.

@odd it's a lot bigger than the picture looks :) but maybe black bellied hornet?

@jpayne Maybe. I’m not sure. I don’t think we even have black hornets over here. Except these.

@jpayne Hope it’s not a cousin of this one.

@odd yeah. Fortunately not that big! It's tough... Trying to teach my kids not to freak out around flying insects then these big things arrived.

@jpayne Me too! I don’t think my budget will ever allow it though…😅
