I managed to disturb what I think were European wasps about the size of hornets couple of us got stung but wasn't that uncomfortable tbh.

Mate reckoned they needed to be reported for some reason.

 

 

Quite possibly Median wasps. They look a bit like small hornets and tend to build quite largish grey nests in shady bushes.

When annoyed they have a habit of dropping from the nest like big raindrops.

Er,  l know l risk  falling foul of the modern  trend for rejecting stereotypical sexual labels based upon what is considered the inadmissible  evidence of  outward appearance .

However the issue of possible emotional  gender fluidity aside , and at risk of being   politically incorrect  by  sexually objectify even an insect ;

The wasp in the picture  is a bloke .

Or if she  ( they ,  them    , us ) is a Queen  she ( us   , they  them) is  a very  convincing cross dresser.
