    Some kind of wood wasp would be my best guess. It actually looks like a hornet from certain angles too!!

    Its a strange looking yoke. We had a wasp nest last year in the kitchen roof so I think I better get the nest killer out again just to be safe!

    Wood wasps are no danger to you.

    It's that time of year when we notice wasps about. It doesn't mean there's a nest about. If there was you would have notice right through Summer.
