A terrified man has spoken about the moment a monster wasp woke him up and gave him the fright of his life.
While most people get up to their alarm clock or the sounds coming from outside their window, one Brit had to suffer another way.
He got a real shocked when a 5cm 'demon' wasp got into his room, the DailyStar reports.
The man, who shared the terrifying wake up call on Reddit, captioned the post: "What kind of 5cm long demon wasp is this that woke me up at 5:30am? And does it want me dead?"
Many eagle-eyed viewers were quick to point out that the insect the man had encountered at the crack of dawn was most likely a hornet, but that still did little to dispel the lad's fears.
Replying to a comment on the post, the man who had been rudely awaken by the wasp/hornet.
He shared that he had shaken the curtain gently until the insect flew away and said that his 'heart is still racing.'
He added, in true British style: "I need a cup of tea."
Another Reddit user added: "Yeah, hornet. Very docile, rarely sting humans. If you think that's a whopper, wait until you see how big the queens are. There was one flying around my garden earlier in the month looking for somewhere to set up home."
"Wait until you see how big the queens are. I googled an image of one out of curiosity and now I regret everything. They're huge", agreed another.
A third wrote: "That is an English Hornet, you can tell because it is yellow and brown rather than the classic yellow and black of the Japanese variety. Definitely not after your soul, just after a nest location."
The Reddit user who shared the post did manage to remove the insect from his room but he won't be forgetting his wake up call anytime soon.
