Walking into work tonight and one of my co-workers called me over to look at a huge bug. It looked like a Wasp or Hornet or something so I shot a few photos of it. There as a very big one almost and inch and a half long and a small one about half the size. The small one had light green markings and the larger one had yellow markings.
