I don't have any pics or video, but when I was in Afghanistan, they had wasps that were just huge. I'd guess their bodies were 2 inches long and pretty stout. One night on guard duty, I threw a piece of fried chicken out for the coyotes. They never showed up, but in the morning, these wasps were there. I watched in amazement as one tore off a piece of meat as big as his body and flew off with it. Damn. That was just vicious!
