This fella just flew in the window, 5cm long, biggest waspy type thing I have ever seen. What is it?

Africeuraisian nobgobbler. I’m sure of it.

Thats a a wood fly*

Totally harmless not a sting at the back let it out. A lovely thing.

*I forget what actually is called.

Horntail or Giant Wood Wasp, same thing, 2 names.

Aye, thats the badger. Cheers, terrified me, that thing looked like it could poke big holes in you.

Hogweed Bonking Beetle

Grockel snapper , juvenille male if I’m not mistaken. Naturaly adverse to Del Shannon music.

Wood wasp.

Beautiful insects! If you have a wooden leg you might get lucky and it might lay eggs in it with its long ovipositor.

Wood wasp. I ran around my work place like a 5 year old girl when I saw one of these . Scared the shite out of me until I found out they are completely harmless

It did make this means as **** buzzing, pretty awesome though.
