Not sure if it was an Asian or European as I didn’t stick around to ask, but it was almost as big as my thumb and sounded like a Chinook. It was really having a go at me while I was hanging washing out.

There is an app called ‘Asian Hornet Watch’ you can upload a photo of any Hornet you spot, and they will tell you if it’s European or Asian Hornet. Also allows them to track the location of the invasive species.

We get a metric shit-tonne of European hornets here – I live in the countryside in E Sussex – but only the odd Asian one. The native ones are far more “holy fuck, there’s a heavily-armoured death machine in my room” than the Asian. They are pretty calm creatures though, despite the brown alert nature of them

Given the express, I half expected this to be about immigration.

Don’t know if European hornet or Asian but we encountered a nest while airsofting
Turns out that if you throw a battered up old car door with a hornet nest in they don’t like it.
some dick decided to throw a car door with a the nest in. Instead of leaving it alone. He threw it across the other side of this trench we was using. we all ran for our lives. He was stung to bits. Multi times, Very serious stuff for him.

There was one in my bedroom about three years ago in The Midlands. It was awesome. When away from their nests, and don’t feel threatened, they’re actually pretty relaxed around humans. They’re not complete bastards like regular wasps. Don’t upset a nest of them, however.

One spotted in Shropshire. Saved you a click.
