It is known to steal prey from spiders. This was first documented in 2011, when one took a wrapped insect from a yellow garden spider's web.1
It is the largest eusocial wasp native to Europe.1
Only females have a stinger, because it is a modified egg-laying device. Males cannot sting.1
In Germany, killing a European hornet or destroying its nest has been illegal since 1 January 1987, with a fine of up to €50,000, though fines are rarely imposed.1
It is the only true hornet found in North America, where it was introduced from Europe as early as 1840.1
