European Hornet

Vespa crabro L.

Description:

This guy is about an inch and a half long. Black and yellow. Very large !!!

Habitat:

backyard habitat

Notes:

This guy was feeding on my hummingbird feeder. He was competing with a dozen or so yellow jackets for the food. He was about 3 or 4 times the size of the yellow jackets though.

I just started a new mission: non-hummingbird creatures at hummingbird feeders. Your photo would be a great addition.
