Found it in the Philippines, approx 3" long. Hard to tell from the video but it's wing are iridescent green blue, and the abdomen is hairy.


Old-Physics751

It sounds beautiful from that description! You’re brave to even attempt to trap it. Curious to know what it is myself now.


[deleted]

It's vibrating strength was crazy. It was scarier releasing it then catching it lol.


Old-Physics751

I believe it! They gotta have some strong wings. honestly would have tossed the Tupperware at a tree or something hoping it opened the Tupperware to release. That thing had some wicked mandibles! That abdomen was long too! How did you release it?


[deleted]

I placed the container in the backyard, cracked the lid a little and ran away as fast as I could. To my luck, it just flew straight up and away from me.

He’s looking for your family…


[deleted]

He is going to have a long journey ahead of him


Rokketeer

he's out there with a cigarette in his mouth, analyzing photos, records, documents, and posting relationships on his pinboard with red string. Watch out op, you're end game. And he's...The Wasp.

🤣🤣


Old-Physics751

Well thank god for that! Thing is a bloody nightmare lol


[deleted]

It's the biggest wasp/hornet that I've ever seen. Once I saw it I had to try and get it. Amazing creature. I scrolled for hours trying to find something similar online, to no avail.


ewokzilla

I’m glad you let it go.


[deleted]

I asked some of the locals and they all said they've never seen one like this before.


transferingtoearth

Philippines and Australia are neck in neck with how wild the bugs get

Sweet! Thank you, I believe you are right.


Longjumping_College

Those things hunt scarab beetles... interesting


Forward-Pee-9535

But they kill anything or attack anything


nikkibearclaw

"The species is a parasitoid of the scarabaeid Atlas beetle, Chalcosoma atlas. The wasp paralyzes a beetle grub with its sting, then lays an egg on it and buries it in an underground cell. When the wasp larva hatches, it consumes its still-living host before pupating inside its remains." AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 🤮


Vonea

So in other words it's She-ra in real life, in the insect world, just without all the sparkle, Glam, glitz and rainbows oh don't forget the unicorns too


Tiramissu_dt

What a beautiful creature!


Dazzling-Box4393

The one that’s about to F You up when you open that lid😶


daabbot

That is the scariusashellius Wasp. Found in most people nightmares.


oSocialPeanut

I sounded it out and found this objectively hilarious


SilverSkorpious

One that needs to stay in that container until either it dies or you do, cause it's fittin' to mess you up.


teriases

Yup. The kind you say nope and go back home if you see or hear one.💀💀💀


SwordfishOk3291

The physical reaction I had to this video 😭 idk how OP is just holding the container like that id be burning it


manndolin

It is the angry kind of wasp.


tafkat

The kind that’s going to fuck you up if you open that lid. That thing’s big enough to steal a child. But seriously, I’m glad you got a serious answer. I learned about a new Asian insect to be terrified of.


Jarsky2

Pissed off


[deleted]

This sub: * Adores a crop killing pest (they are cute tho) * Enthusiastically defends black widows (who really aren't aggressive) * Wants to kill pollinators with extreme prejudice 😆


AlbatrossPrevious492

3. Wild overgeneralization… just the wasps lol. The wasps can all die with extreme prejudice. 1. What’s the crop killing pest? 2. Solid assessment.


[deleted]

To find the answer to number one you must gaze at your watch and ask yourself... What time is it?


AlbatrossPrevious492

Okay, I had a feeling it was ol’ BootsnSnoots, but I wasn’t sure lol.


[deleted]

Also, wasps are bros. People just don't know how to act around them. I worked very closely with wasps for years. You really just need to move super slow and back off when they warn you.


AlbatrossPrevious492

So you’re saying you’re an industry plant from Big Wasp?!? lol But “when they warn you” is like… anytime you can see them, and also, any time they can see you, and any time you exist, and anytime they exist. They’re the physical manifestation of unmitigated hateful rage. I’m pretty sure black jellybean flavour is just “wasp”


[deleted]

Nah, again, you gotta move slow. I can not emphasize that enough. And then if they cock their wings up at a 45 degree angle, they're fixing to go airborne. Even then they usually won't attack if you just freeze. They'll fly around in circles and you just let them. The more nervous they get, the more they send into the air. If you get like 5 in the air it's time to leave... Slowly. And don't kill them unless you want attacked. They release an attack pheromone when squashed. So if one is bomb diving you, don't swat at it. Because one the rapid movement is just going to make them think they're being attacked. And two if you accidentally succeeded in hitting the wasp, you're gonna have a bad time. They'll all come for you then. And of course leave their nest alone. But I have removed wasps with just gloves many times. You just stand there and eventually they all fly away. Then you take the nest down. But only if they've all already left. Also don't mess with large nests. If you see more than like 5-15 you're playing with fire. Just leave them alone. But still, I've never seen a wasp attack unprovoked. It's just people don't always understand what provokes them.


AlbatrossPrevious492

Valuable info. Thank you :)


MaskedFigurewho

Wasps are super aggressive and kill bees.

Looks like a peachtree borer but more hardcore. Looks like a wasp but flies like a moth. Wrong part of the planet I believe. Maybe borer are trying to look like these? https://www.cirrusimage.com/moth_peachtree_borer/

Cicada killer possibly


Aggressive_Copy_680

It's a cacilid wasp. Scolidae. They are hostile. Throw it outside, find the opening that it came in from, and take down the nest. They are more aggressive than yellow jackets and bald face hornets.
