A beautiful big wasp, about 20mm in size. This one is the female, and is non-stinging.

Yikes, that is huge. Thankfully it doesn't sting.

Super details Christine. Never knew some species of wasp don't sting, still don't like them though!!

Good to know it doesn't sting. Here, I'd treat any wasp that size with great caution. Got stung once, I've no idea what species, but it was nasty indeed.
