Fucking huge hornet flying around the bathroom light.
I’m actually allergic to wasp stings so DDs are always really protective of me.
It’s fucking November, in Scotland, they should all be hibernating, not lurking in my bathroom.
Of course we’ve no spray, so DD, bless her locked me and the cat in the living room and ventured forth armed only with a can of hairspray, a bottle of bathroom cleaner and a big shoe!
The intruder has now been neutralised.
But, does this mean we’ve got a nest?? Shudder.

No it was probably just a young queen looking for somewhere to sleep for the winter. Unlikely to be aggressive atm I don't think.

Has it gotten in from the outside seeking the warmth of your bathroom?

Might not be a hornet... You sometimes see wasp queens looking for somewhere to hibernate this time of year... Maybe a bit later than normal but it's been mild (here at least) so 🤷

If you had a nest you would have spotted lots in the summer months maybe?
