4 inches long? geez! where were you? Jurassic Park?

Answer 3

Well, I think it was eathier a large classic bumble bee,  a jackel, or a hornet.

Answer 4

That must have been a mutant.  Bumble bees and carpenter bees are usually under 3 inches in body length.  There are a few species of moth that imitate the bumble appearance.
