Thursday my 8 year old son was supposed to go fishing with his grandpa. They left out the front door and a few minutes later he came running in the house screaming in pain. He had gotten stung a couple times when he walked out the front door and one was still stuck in his leg. I'm deathly allergic so grandpa had to take care of the wasp that was still on him. We looked out the front door and there was a decent size swarm of them buzzing around. My husband emptied two cans of wasp spray and killed a bunch but we were still seeing quite a few. Since we live in town, that limits the creativity of getting rid of them so we called in a professional (thank goodness we did).
The guy said this is one of the biggest nests he has ever removed. It filled up almost the entire cavity under our front steps. The pest control guy said there were around 1,000 eggs that were probably going to hatch in the next 2-3 days. I couldn't do a video of him removing the nest since I'm super allergic and couldn't get near, but I'll attach a picture of part of the nest he took out.

Took out 10 wasps this morning. I think it was cool enough that they were barely moving. They were lined up on the inside of the door of my utility shed. I had a hammer in my hand so tap tap tap tap... down the line I went. No nest to speak of either. Later on had on buzzing around me so I clapped my hands on him and took him out to.
Got a cicada killer earlier in the week. Those things are big and the stinger on that thing had to have been 1/2” long. Took him out with brake cleaner.

Thumbs up for hiring a pro for this one.
Second giant 'murder hornet' escapes after it was captured by scientists in Washington | CNN
Another "murder" hornet that could have led scientists to its nest has evaded experts once more, following a lost signal.
Asian giant hornets are the world's largest hornet, as they can become up to 2 inches long, according to the WSDA. What makes them so dangerous is that they can destroy a honeybee hive in a matter of hours, killing the bees by decapitating them.
Bees vs. "Murder" Hornets??

"You take what life throws you is what I say. You’ve got to make the best out of every bad situation,” he said, before adding of the hornets: “Keep an eye out for them.”
In that video, Why they aren’t hitting that thing with 10,000 degree torch is beyond my comprehension.
Scientists also found in the nest the radio tag they had tied, using dental floss, onto the Asian giant hornet that led them to the nest. “It appeared to have been chewed off,” they said on a blog post.
Somewhere in Washington, there's a hornet with a strand of dental floss wrapped around his head Rambo-style plotting his revenge against the humans that killed his family.

Murder hornets are so 2020! Behold this vivid new species of Norwegian cuckoo wasp
A new species of parasitic insect called a cuckoo wasp has been found in Norway by an international team of scientists
Often called emerald wasps, all cuckoo wasps belong to the tribe Chrysidini in the family Chrysididae, a hymenopteran collection of more than 3,000 recognized species with over 1,000 of them belonging to the genus Chrysis.
Measuring roughly 0.5 inches in length, their coloring tends to fall within a range of metallic green to metallic blue. Their demented nickname refers to the unorthodox method by which these flying insects lay eggs in the nests of unrelated host species, similar to the rude behavior of the cuckoo bird.
