| | | Giant hornet
I have found a hornet and it measures about 3 inches in size. It has thick black rings going down ints back. I have it in a jar and it nearly takes up the whole of the bottom. I have a photo but do not know how to post it. |

Have you read this how to post photos advice http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/fo...rum-posts.html
At that size I wonder if you actually have a dragonfly there? Possibly a Gold-ringed Dragonfly - Cordulegaster boltoni. |

It is the regular hornet, Vespa crabro. Given its large size, it must be a queen |
