It's almost 3 cm nose to sting. Below it are a wasp and a worker bee. You can see how a few hornets could devastate a hive.Vespa Crabro, if you're interested.

Great picture (as ever!), Stephen. Good and bad to hear that you caught quite a few close to the hive. I hope they don't get in. I've got my entrance blocks (reducers) on at the moment to keep more of the Apiguard in - and I was glad of it when this morning I saw quite a few wasps buzzing round the ground near the hive (none inside, though).
