Just escorted a 2cm+ wasp/hornet out of the kitchen.
It was crawling on the handle of the oven door. omg ! !
It was me because I'm the only one who will take a window apart to set an insect free. Once you holler at people for killing insects in the house, they learn to leave it to the Bleeding Heart Liberal. :)
2 short rides in an empty applesauce cup to liberation.
Heart rate (mine) took longer to subside.
Not sure about wasp/hornet's heart rate.

was für ein beeindruckendes und elegantes tier 😍

eine schlupfwespe der
Gattung Dusona
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dusona
das ist eine gattung mit 442 arten! dem entsprechend ist es schwer zu sagen um welche art genau es sich handelt, möglicherweise D. falcator, unsere freundin hier hatte nämlich eine beachtliche größe, dürften schon ~20mm gewesen sein

Andricus coriarius? (fam. Cynipidae)

[ES] Por si la agalla en sí no fuera lo bastante curiosa, enicma tiene esas pústulas rojizas, supongo que de algún hongo. Encontrada sobre un rebollo (Quercus pyrenaica).

[EN] The form of this gall captured my attention and then I saw the curious red scabs on its surface, maybe from a fungus? Found in an oak (Quercus pyrenaica).

Holy shit. I can now officially say I have managed to safely get a wasp out of the house. As someone who is afraid of wasps, it was absolutely terrifying. #wasp
