Hornet

“Hornet is the largest species of wasp found in America. The thorax is mostly black; the abdomen is yellow, with three brown points. The sting is very painful. The hornet is a very voracious insect, seizing and devouring bees and other insects, or carrying them to its nest to feed its young. The nest is commonly in some sheltered place."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)
