Is it a queen wasp?

Serious answer - German Yellowjacket.

Looking at some pics you could be right. It can bugger off back to Deutschland.

I went looking for it and saw this thread:

I wasn't aware of it and one of those poll options is unacceptable - Pancake Girl?

I don't think that is the original thread.

If that was outside my window I'd make the whole house go underground like this. It's the only way to be safe.

Could be a Hornet, I did see one years ago & it was about 3 times the size of a wasp. Not as aggressive as a wasp but I wouldnt want to anger it, as it would sting me then fly off to get its mates for round 2

In that case, I'll keep this post in the manner with which this thread is treated with the rest here.

My wife found a very similar wasp in our attic the other day. Might have been a Queen but I have no way of knowing. It was big and angry, that’s all I know. I trapped it and threw it out of the window.

For once, she wasn’t exaggerating!

They're getting upset now that summer's ending. I love it.

Nuke from orbit/poop/letterbox etc...

After a great deal of research, bees have developed a foolproof defence against the latter. They went paperless and don't have a letterbox. It's a cunning plan!

So nuking from orbit is the only option.
