These excellent photographs helped me to identify the same creature at home this morning. I was outside and I noticed an unusually large flying insect, he was just flying in and around under an outside patio type roof. He made it difficult not to notice. Some minutes later I noticed the flying insect, which I have now identified as The Greater Banded Hornet, it was on the concrete pavement, walking backwards with a Huntsman spider in it’s jaws, the spider seemed lifeless, and the Hornet dragged the spider about twenty five metres along the pavement then pulled it up two courses of bricks and into the garden where he just left the spider, presumably for future food.
