The hornet referenced above, Vespa mandarinia, is the world's largest species of social wasp. The largest species of spider wasp (genus Pepsis) from South America and the giant scoliid wasp of Indonesia, Megascolia procer, are much bigger. Pepsis wasps have the largest wingspan at over 12 cm, of any wasp; Megascolia, because of its robustness, probably has the largest body. Several Pepsis species can exceed 6 cm in body length; The broader Megascolia can reach 6 cm in body length and over 10 cm in wingspan.
