In reply to Peewit:

It is on some thistle flower heads 

In reply to Peewit:

That is why the wasp looks bigger. Also I zoomed in before taking it

In reply to Zo Clark:

The reason why I asked because it looks like a European Hornet which look the same but twice the size. .European Wasps have a lot more stripes down it's back than the regular wasp. This is a regular sized Wasp.

The wasp looks bigger cause it’s on a small flower and it wasn’t hornet size either. don’t worry I know how to tell the difference between a wasp and a hornet so I wouldn’t send one by acident

In reply to Peewit:

Also Hornets don’t really actually look like wasps as much as you might think you would know if you saw one here’s what a hornet looks like
