Wasp On Steroids

Imagine my delight when this insect was in my room.
So handsome he gave me the chills.
Over two inches long I knew the wasp has been taking steroids.
He displayed his stinger with pride! 
Looks kinda like a hornet or ground wasp but also looks like this guy in the third picture to me.  A very deadly Asian Hornet has a doppelganger in Arkansas.   I did not prod nor poke nor pester this one.  It was the biggest wasp like insect I've ever seen.  Called in my hero to dispatch said wasp on steroids.  I was armed with fly swats but Andrew went right for the wasp spray.  Since I'm allergic we were taking no chances. 
I know it supposed to be "Live and let be" but I enjoyed his after picture much better than his before. Certainly hope his family doesn't know what I did or it will be worse than the Hatfield's and McCoy's.  
There will be war!
