Slightly smaller than the native European hornet. May be confused with other species, shown
below in actual size for comparison.
Where might I see it?
May be seen on flowering plants, around beehives, around rotting /
fermenting fruit and protein, and at street markets attracted by sweet fruit
and fish stalls. Active February to November across England and Wales.
