The video hasn't even gone live yet and I'm already considering either burning the place down or undergoing hypnosis to convince me I LOVE wood wasps, just incase this one has laid eggs somewhere and I end up with a house full of them 🙃 *also I'm aware that the bugs in your country are likely larger and deadlier than anything we have here, but give me a break lol, we aren't used to it and to see something the size of the empire state building chilling on your curtain is quite unsettling

That's big but we've got bigger to come, a friend of mine called Lisa just 2 doors along from me, she's been breeding moths in her shed last year, they has been a few sightings of these bigger then Lisa's but hers was the size of the parm your hand wing span, the other sightings around the UK are the size of your hole hand from your wrist to tip of your finger mabe a little bigger depending on the size of you, but they are really big at full wing span, I couldn't imagine 1 of them flying around me house on a night time, the hoover wouldn't stand a chance hahaha

Yup - it's a Wood Wasp! Harmless but scarily big. We get them in some of the forests up the west coast. I have seen them a couple of times in the great glen.

We get wood wasps all the time here in Canada! I'm terrified of them even though they're harmless, they don't need to be that big 😂 I found one in my grandpa's basement one time, it came in when he brought in his firewood, and I screamed so loud I'm sure him and my grandma thought I was dying 😂

The kind of wood wasp we occasionally found in Perthshire looked about the same as a large fat dragonfly, the sting-like bit was like a wee pen nib.

Ohhhh myyyyy gawwwd!😳😳😳 thats the biggest NOPE ever 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

whilst me, I have a hairy spider in my room which I named Lucas. It comes and goes, but is always soewhere there.

"Insects the size buses!" I need to tell you that at this point I was laughing so hard I nearly fell of my chair! To be fair though, it is quite sizeable!

I'm glad it was only a wood wasp and not a Japanese hornet!

What do you want to bet that it still came from Australia, a pure Ausie Wood Wasp.... geeze-o! 😱😱😱

Lol maybe the smell from the neighbours home is attracting all the local wildlife 😂

Ha ha ha! You should see the Tarantula Hawk we have over here in the southwest U.S.. Most painful sting in the insect world, second only to the Bullet Ant. People actually pass out from the pain.

I am subscribed with bell icon pressed coz I love u so much 😭

No thank you Erin I don't want that in my house either. I appreciate everything you do my friend and have loved your channel for years. Keep on.

I would probably have had the same reaction, or even worse hahah

Omg NO THANK YOU 😵 jesus christ that thing had ulterior motives, for sure 💀

Daing that's a big bug girl. I found something simular on my front door step here in New Mexico. The bug I found was nearly 5 inches long with wings. Don't know what to call it but it was huge.

Wow

Coming from Canada, where all our windows have screens to keep the bugs out, this was hilarious!

Seen one of these today on the outskirts of Glasgow while I working in the Recycle centre, it landed on my chest on my fluorescent jacket, I majorly freaked out!

Hey Erin. Thank you for this enjoyable (and funny) video. Yes..... here in Australia, you would need to be on your toes with all of the big (dangerous and non-dangerous) insects, animals, reptiles, etc. that we have here....hehe. We have a Huntsman Spider in our our house, who loves to crawl from room to room through the night. Everyday, it is in a new room. It's our mobile insect killer...... No need for insect spray. It's about the size of your hand. Take it easy over there, and get Oliver to drink some cement so he can harden up. Lol

That’s crazy, at first I was wondering if it might have came in with something that got mailed. I had an old boss that had a small business, who used to get metal pipes from China. One day he freaked right out when a spider the size of a tarantula crawled out of one of them

First... wow omg I would of died twice!! Second.. you didn't tell us you were dating Clark Kent!!

At first I thought about a Cicada Killer Wasp, but they're about 5 inches (127 mm) what with the 17 year Cicadas making their appearance here in the U.S.. Or maybe an all black Wasp Hawk, they are about the same size as the Cicada Wasp, but skinnier and a very shiny black color. Never saw a Wood Wasp; we have Carpenter Ants, Termites, Masonry Bees , Yellow Jackets and regular Wasps. Hope it hasn't freaked you out too much. All creatures, no matter how scary to us, have a purpose on Earth.

What the hell is even the point of living in a haunted house if the ghosts aren't going to scare the bugs off. You should call the ghosts' manager

Listen to that noise! You would make a noise if a giant hundreds of times your size deliberately trapped you and then started talking about you with two other giants!!! And you waited six minutes before telling us what it was and that it was harmless. My Mum is allergic to bee stings and was terrified one evening last summer when one landed on her, because it it stung we would have to call 999. I did the large gin glass trick and trapped it, then let it go at the bottom of her garden where there are enough flowers to keep a whole hive busy all day.
