Found this today on its back in the garden and put it in a jar. I have never seen a wasp/hornet this big. Is this an Asian or African hornet? I assume that the sting from this big guy is not good.
What kind of hornet/wasp is this?
Cicada killer wasp in the family Sphecidae; not at all aggressive towards humans...
