Hmmm...You might be right. Is there a European hornet that's similar?

I think the European Hornet is similar. I am thinking Reagan or Mr Van posted about these two some time ago with pictures..

To me, they all look the same but now I see the differences. Mine were European. We also have plenty of bald faced hornets around here and they are as aggressive as it gets. They hit between the eyes and on the temples for no good reason.

I've got some more pictures here, just for future reference.

I hardly saw any Euro hornets this year.  I will often see them hanging around the beehives in the fall when food is becoming scarce.  They don't "hawk" like the Asian hornets do, so I don't particularly care if they snag a honey bee or two.

   As far as I know the only asian hornets .. Ever to be caught and killed in the United States was near washington and canada.. There was another confirm report this year in Georgia.. I never heard what happened to the one in Georgia. It seemed like everybody thinks.. European are the giant asian hornets this is not even close.
