Woah. I've noticed there are some seriously large hornet-like creatures around here, but they're usually there and gone so quickly they're not much cause for alarm. Let me emphasize their dimensions - they are large. When you catch one out of the corner of your eye it's like seeing a hummingbird.
This might be the kind of creature: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_giant_hornet
I just saw one of them involved in a dogfight with a bird outside my window. The two were bobbing and weaving only a few feet about the ground for several seconds. Ultimately the bug got away, but I was surprised by the agility of the much larger bird.
It reminds me of a web comic... (Profanity disclaimer)
