My grandson, age 3 at the time, got stung on his ankle this summer by one. This is in Kentucky. He cried for hours. His ankle stayed swelled up for 3 to 4 days and was really red and hot feeling. We were at my son's house when he got stung. My husband hemmed the hornet up inside a light fixture in the ceiling as the hornet made its way inside their house. Then he managed to kill it. It looks just like your picture. My son also looked it up on his cell phone that day and it said it was a Murder Hornet. All I know is the little fellow was in misery and there was nothing we could do but put ice on it and give him Benadryl.
