Re: Bee in my house !
That's Vespa tropica, the greater banded hornet. What happened to it in the end? It died? Looks dead or unconscious in the pic with measurements.
Be careful with it because it has an extremely painful sting, although a single one in the house will never attack and will simply fly out if you open the windows. |

Re: Bee in my house !
 They get confused by light at night and will fly into the light, sometimes cooking themselves if the bulb is hot. It probably got stunned by the light after flying in.If this happens again turn off all lights in the house, open one window wide and place a torchlight or other small lamp at the window. The hornet should either fly there and fall out of the window, or buzz around the window, after which you can switch off the light and it will fly out of the window towards lights outside. |
