No but we have had to deal with these big bees here this summer. They are called carpenter bees and do not have hives they bore into wood, like 4x4's.

Seriously,this giant thing flying around made me jump.Good thing my wife left me.

This is the kind of thread title that might get Mac posting on the board again.

huh?

huh?

You're not that big.

This morning while perusing the CSFMB,I had one of these giant M'F'ers flying in the house.
I had never seen one before and was wondering what it was. I finally cornered it against a window and killed it. It turns out,they are relatively harmless. When I first saw it,it might have been flying with a dead fly in it's grasp making it even creepier looking.


From Wiki:
Giant Black Wasp
Description[edit]
Sphex pensylvanicus is a large, black wasp, significantly larger than its congener Sphex ichneumoneus (the great golden digger wasp).[5] Males are smaller than females, at only 19–28 mm (0.7–1.1 in) long, to females 25–34 mm (1.0–1.3 in).[2] According to John Bartram, "The Sting of this Wasp is painful, but does not swell like others".[6] As well as being larger than S. ichneumoneus, it is also darker, with smoky wings and an entirely black body, where S. ichneumoneus has yellow wings, red legs, and a partly red abdomen.[7]
