And I don't know if this is a wasp or hornet or whatever. But I do know it was on steroids. Whatever species it is, it's at least double the size of a regular bee/hornet/wasp. It was the second time this year I had one (possibly the same one) in my shed. I shooed it away to fly outside. Then when I was done in the shed, I closed the door, walked into my house and heard a buzzzzz next to my ear and the f'ing thing started flying around in my kitchen. It was probably resting on my shoulder. Was pretty easy to whack it out of the air with a swatter given its size. I should have used a bottle cap or something for reference.

Northern giant hornet.
