Caught a Murder Hornet in my Bedroom!

[Chaukisch]

Now that it's getting colder a lot of spiders like to visit me at home, I used to fill jars with soil and what not to keep a few of them, now I just put them back outside. I mostly get these little buggers to visit me, the females can get quite chunky. For local spiders anyway.


One morning I had a rare caterpillar right here in my room, Acronicta aceris.

Beautiful face, reminded me of a halloween pumpkin.

That's what I thought as well but the inspector expressed concern over the size in their reply.

The Queen hornet is usually larger in size and goes on solo missions to establish a new nest.
Yesterday, I had a few fly byes of several really large hornets. Approximately 1 1/2" in length. I'll bring a jar with me while I'm back outside today. Maybe I can catch one or at least snap a pic..

They've been on my list for a while. Still wanting to get a Columbian Lesserblack as well.

Wow ! ... just ... Wow !

That's a big bug. And here I am complaining about a few stink bugs.
