I know I haven't been commenting much, my computer has been acting funny.

These aren't the best photos ...I added the second one for size comparison.

I have never seen anything like this.... have you?


Jen :shock:

A hornet maybe on the big one and a wasp on the little one?

Wasps & Yellow Jackets (not the Georgia Tech kind) are common around HB feeders due to the sucrose in the HB food.

I know the little one is a yellow-jacket, but it is in normal size.... I've never seen a hornet or wasp SO big! Thanks for answering, I appreciate it.

For a definite answer as to what type of wasp, submit the image to bugguide.net & you will get an answer...

I don't know either what it is but it must have came from the Glades because our bugs are all on growth hormones!
