Hi, last night my cat brought in a huge bug which my boyfriend thinks is a hornet but only think is it wasnt yellow and black and like a giant wasp but was definitely huge and scary..and noisy.. It was about 2.5 inches i think and about 1cm wide, its wings were perhaps 2 inches each. But its body was more black and orangey/pinky/red striped. Looks like may have stinger. And idea what this might be. I have looked up pictures of wood wasps and nothing looks like this!! I have two pics although they are not terribly clear as one was taken last night after boyfriend threw it out and other was after it died and is jar til I work out what it is!
