I have no idea but that dude looks very angry. Have you considered burning your house to the ground?
Guess I won’t go outside ever again
* builds hive inside your vaccum cleaner *
mate stop filming it and give it the deeds to your house, car and family
That’s a European hornet, it’s a native species not an invader.
On closer inspection it appears to be a male one, these guys only come out for a few days a year to mate with new queens then they die. Let our boy out to enjoy what little time he has left!
Is that dude inside your hoover?
Suck up progressively large spiders one at a time, hours of entertainment.
Also report back if you managed to find a spider badarse enough to put up a fight.
It’s a European hornet which are the only hornet species native to the UK. I believe they’re endangered.
If ever there was a time for the “*Hans, Get the Flammenwerfer*” meme, this would be it.
European Hornet.
Please take him out if your freezer and let him go.
Like others have said European hornet. They are very docile compared to wasps but are attracted to light just like moths.
There’s a great app called Asian Hornet Watch which is ideal for situations such as this. Asian Hornet’s are an invading species. This looks European though, which is endangered. One flew into my house the other day and I did the whole pint glass and beer mat trick and let it out the window, because I’m not a murderous pansy.
At first i thought that was a car windscreen, and shit myself. I see now it’s a hoover.
What are your coordinates, I’ll send air support.
It’s a hoover fly.
Imagine how fucked we’d be if these were the same size as a human
Please tell me they cant get up north because it too cold, the one thing we have.

It blows my mind that arachnophobia is well-documented and well-understood and well-forgiven, but there’s little recognition for those of us who shit our pants seeing a small angry flying bite+injection armoured flying tiger.
Bet it sounded like a Chinook
Where in the UK are these? Just so I can stay the hell away from these places, thank you in advance.
Release him
Looks like a Cazador safest strategy is throw explosives from a distance.
How did you come to the conclusion that putting* your hoover in the freezer was easier than releasing it outside? You’d sooner put dust in your freezer than outside?
Edit: spelling
If it bleeds we can kill it
Dawg your room is filthy get dusting
I started seeing these around April this year 😬 a massive one flew around my head when I was going to my studio in the garden. It wouldn’t leave me alone it sounded like a bloody helicopter! It wanted to be in my studio and kept trying to come in. It won eventually when I ran into the house because I had no idea what it was at the time. A second encounter was in my bedroom, I was putting clothes away and heard it fly in and it was hovering on the back of my neck!! I don’t think they’re aggressive just really hopeless at personal space. I’ve seen them flying around the garden and they don’t seem interested in food or anything like a normal wasp.
Well, this sequel to A Bug’s Life is rather terrifying.
I had one of these fuckers land on my pizza once in Greece, scared the ever-loving shit out of me

European hornet. They may look intimidating, but they’re actually rather gentle. They aren’t like their smaller bastard cousins.

Bloody EU wasps coming over here still
I believe that this kind of hornets got photographic memory, i’m not sure tho
Nope
Good old Reddit. I hate it when I see posts like these and think “I’m glad we don’t have those in OUR country” only to see the sub name
Where the eff are you and hopefully very south of me. Bad enough contending with the midges
UK? Maybe. In your room? No way, Jose!
You trapped it in a pressure cooker? Fucking pro
Nuke the site from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure
These anti-immigration posts are really picking up steam…
😀
Just kidding, but yeah… with climate change, expect us to have some far more terrifying summer creatures.
It’s ok though, all the Aussies will have to come over here in small boats, and being White piss heads we will open our arms to them, and they will have a terrific industry dealing with plate sided spiders and fist sized stinging insects
That’s a shame. Go and let it outside! Near a lamp post so it flies away.
That’s his room now brother
Welp, window is staying shut rest of the year now.
The way I ran to shut my window so fast…
Asian giant hornet
No.
Ideally they wouldn’t be in Asia either.
Is it coming over here and taking your job?
If thats an Asian Wasp just kill it It looks like one
