It looks like a wasp/hornet. Shouldn't be anything to worry about. Probably wouldn't do anything more than hug you. In the interests of science and entemology the world over, my reccomendation is scoop it up in a small container, shake vigorously then let it free.
Get them drunk, whatever they are. Or high. Basically, mix some alcohol/cough medicine/bong-water with syrup in a shallow lid and leave it out. In the interest of science, of course. Don't piss them off or kill them, because insects are nifty.
Oh, damn... see this is why firearms are a good thing. You'll want a shotgun for an even spread, because if you miss, the noise will piss that thing off... XDThatLankyBastard said:Jesus Christ...DirtyMagic said:Something like this?
...is moving to a different area an option?
Seriously, if you want to get rid of that thing, you don't get a margin for error D:
Hornets are wasps. Big ones. That hate mankind and seek to return the world to a time when they ruled supreme, majestically roaming the tropical forests on their dinosaur-mounted mobile hives. You are vermin to these cold, heartless aberrations.Realitycrash said:
Whenever we had bug problems on Boy Scout campouts, we just used the ol' "Aerosol and a lighter" method if they looked remotely like something that might kill us if we provoked them.Quiet Stranger said:
Hmmm... they look as though they'd be around for a while.
Start worshipping them and giving them sacrifices of your siblings and household pets to satiate their godly temper.
In the meantime, see if you can capture one, stick a pin through their thorax into a piece of foam and mail it to me... for science and all that jazz!

I'll be sure to send that to the guys at my lab... half of them will be wearing sadistic grins for the day, while the rest will be having nightmares for a month!Athol said:
EDIT:
Spray with liberal doses of Windex. Apparently the chemicals in it screw up their ability to to send/receive chemical signals properly and they become disoriented and try to return to the hive whereupon...
...they are attacked and killed by their own hive mates because they aren't emitting the correct chemical signals.
Oh, and run like hell.

That thing is the devils pet. Good God...Jark212 said:Or a Cicada Killer:
Insects are fucking terrifying. Whatever it was, don't go looking for it.Athol said:
