[quote=Anonymous]This isn't exactly gardening, but I thoughts some local garden aficionados might know...my back door and windows in Lorton, about 2 miles from the Occoquan River, are being attacked by really big waspy hornets angry bee-like insects.  About 10 of them.  They're banging into the window.  Attracted to the light I assume.  My DH notices what he thought were bees - and I thought they were waaaaay bigger than bees -- flying out of a nest they mut have made in a hole of an old silver maple near our deck.  He sprayed the hole with RAID anti-hornet spray about 3 hours ago.  Now they are literally swarming me into the house...there are so many near the door that I can't go out out the garbage.

They are thick and about as long as my thumb...maybe an inch and a half?  When they hit the glass, there's a substantial thunk.  Any idea what they could be?  I've never has this kind of problem in our yard or garden!  We have a butterfly bush that gets tons of giant bees, but nothing like these![/quote]
