Help with bee, wasp or MONSTER Hornet!!

Sounds like ground hornets or some kind of yellow jackets. Probably, given the size though, I'd say ground hornets. I can't say for sure, and it seems as you've identified it as a more passive insect, but the big, brown ground hornets are VERY aggressive. Yellow jackets too. We have both. Really sucks when you run a mower over the top of one of their holes, because the vibrations anger them.

To whoever said something about the Cow Cutter/Cow Killer ants, those things are freaking scary in their pupa form. They look like red, furry bumble bees with no wings. And they make noises. We caught one in a water bottle and it growl/squealed at us. I **** you not.

Totally did the same thing to a dirt dobber that was harassing me. I wasn't scared of him though, they're docile, just annoyed. And I painted him black.

If you have a 4" wasp family in your yard you better book a flight from Tokyo because this is a job for Godzilla.

Japan already has those. They're called something like Suzemebachi. Here's a video of some of them murdering a bee hive.
