Just how big is that thing? It looks enormous, but without a reference it's really hard to tell.

May be worth getting a formal identification and notification as "It was also briefly found in the Pacific Northwest of North America from late 2019 but was eradicated by December 2024."

How close were you to the hornet? You’re a brave person. This is where a big telephoto lens would come in handy. Maybe from a half mile away.

I was told on reddit that it is a European Hornet. It was about an inch long, shot with 100mm macro lens.
