   Hornet
   `Hornets` are the largest eusocial wasps, reaching up to 45 millimetres (1.8 inches) in length. The true hornets make up the genus `Vespa`, and are distinguished from other vespines by the width of the vertex (part of the head behind the eyes), which is proportionally larger in `Vespa`; and by the anteriorly rounded gasters (the section of the abdomen behind the wasp waist). See wasp and bee characteristics to help identify an insect.
