Well my Dad and I where outside the other day, closing the pool. When we saw this mother ****** of a bee. My Dad managed to kill it, and we thought it was a queen as its huge. Then we found another one tonight, and we got this one live. Now, there aren't queens but they're huge! Here is a pic of the first one, note it was seduced by poison and has curled up. But I'll get new pics when the live one dies tomorrow:

That's weird. You're going to die.

That thing's pretty big...what state do you live in? If you can find the hive, I'd exterminate it ASAP...especially if you live somewhere that doesn't get cold enough to kill them off in the fall/winter.

They look deadly. Don't get stung. You gotta find the hive before this breed of bees spreads through the world and devourers us all. You are the chosen one.

But really, wow, I'd freak out

That sir, is no be... it's a wasp.
Not that much bigger than that penny... so not huge.
But I have not seen those stripe pattern things before.

Yes it is a wasp, but it's twice the size of a bee.

Bees must be small in the states.
By the way, if you find the nest make sure you spray it with the killer at night.

I live in New York, and I don't think its a wasp. I have a lots of wasps around, there no where near this big. Again it curled up a lot from the poison, I'll get new pics tomaro of the live one. But really this things look they flew out of a portal from hell Dead Rising any one

If I find a nest im gunna rig it with explosives and blow it stright back to hell

you should see the bees i get at my house, they are just bumble bees but they are about the size of 3 bottle caps stacked on top of each other (do that irl it's bigger than it sounds)

btw that would be in Monterey, California

edit: there are also some flies here that are a little more than half that size

it is a Cicada Killer Wasp(Sphecius)It's no Bee, but them markings are trippy. Good Read.

interesting, from what i've read in Cuda's link you should be safe(er) from stings (than if it were a different wasp) since the females (the ones that roam around alone) use their stingers to paralyze their prey (Cicadas) and not to defend the hive, just stay away from large groups of em if you don't want to be annoyed cuz those are males and they chase anything that moves near them. i say annoyed instead of dead cuz the Males don't sting

all in all i've pieced together that despite looking like "they came straight from a portal to hell" they really aren't too much to worry about

edit: lol i found this funny but if you get to close to a male, from what i interpreted it will try to mate with you thinking you are a female cidaca killer wasp, when it chases you it's "investigating anything which might be a female cicada killer ready to mate."

the minute i saw that picture i knew it was a wasp but i adgree with everyone else when i say you should get someone to check these wasps out.

I, for one, welcome our blah blah blah blah blah OLD MEMES DIE HARD.

*cough*

Anyway, Those aren't bees. They're hornets. Big suckers, but that's really how big they are.

Get a less-blurry picture, please.

That is a wasp not that big. i have a hive in my yard with huge ones we kill it every summer but it keeps coming back.

Human/Blood sacrifices usually work for that species. Wasp or Bee, I wouldn't want that sucker in my house.

like everyone else has said before, it's just a wasp. there's one of similar size dead on the stairs in my house; they're no big deal.

if you see them around your yard, see where they go at night, and you should be able to find the hive. poisoning it at night should do the trick, although i'd advise against blowing it up, since it would just agitate them.

It's not a normal wasp, I have normal wasp nests around my house, there no big deal. This is the thing Cuda was talking about.

I Saw 3 of those round my summerhouse in Russia, it was about 1am and we crushed to death with a pair of slippers . That was only because it was in the living room though (the place were food and people were kept.
