Speaking of death throes

Last night as I was about to brush my teeth, I heard a cross between a helicopter and a war plane kabuzzing around the kitchen area. Kabuzzing, you know, when something is flapping fast but not quite uniformly and bumping into, gently colliding with things?!

The massive waspy thing was in the house, but NOT for long. On the back swipe of the first strike I downed it, heard it hit. As it was still twitching despite a decent blow, I finished the job in some water, but was less than pleased at the gargantuan features of this beast.

New species to the area? Just huge from a plump season (as is try with many things this summer)? Regardless, NOT welcome in my house!

Poor picture, the dime for perspective…
