    Looks like a hornet to me. Don't let it sting you, can be really nasty.

    I've no idea mate, but I'd burn the house down and then run, just to be safe.

    It's an old Aussie trick, due to all the dangerous thingies that lurk in the shadows downunder.

    I'm just hoping the Murder Hornets don't move south from Washington state in the near future.

    looks way too skinny to be a hornet.

    its a "get it away from me", lives in bins and found on sunny days ,one of the reasons that all the litter was left in parks recently as going anywhere near a bin will cause it to fly in a frenzy and follow you everywhere for at least a month,one way of defeating it is to wave your hands around your head and run in very tight circular directions often holding a sticky lolly wrapper in your hand ,this much tried method as a 0.001 percent chance of working
