Cazadors are as big as a person. I think it's a European hornet.

>Sand hornet/cicada killer.
Those don't live in Ontario, Canada as far as I know, and they also don't look anything like that. European hornets do.

You know what must be done.
>The European hornet (Vespa crabro), a large yellow and black introduced species, is found in some parts of southern Ontario

I don't think they mean it was purposely introduced.

to kill the smaller European wasps that were introduced

What we need now are some of those giant Japanese wasps to kill off the European hornets.

I saw those in Japan, they were scary as fuck, and I'm not one to be afraid of insects.

now imagine in the olden times these fuckers were as big as dogs.
>>1061721
At least the European ones are only mean to wasps, not humans.

Looks like normal hornet to me.
Kill on Sight.

It's a European hornet.
Just three of them are able to eat a whole apple in a few hours
