This colossal wasps' nest, home for up to 10,000 of the stinging insects, has been found in an attic near Corby, Northamptonshire.
First reported on the Evening Telegraph website, external, a homeowner found the one-metre wide nest (3.2ft) in the loft while renovating his house, which had been empty for years.
Peterborough pest controller Gary Wilkinson said "luckily" the wasps moved out about a year earlier.
However, he said its size and long entry tunnel made for a "spectacular work of art". Phobia aside, he's right you know...

Meanwhile, in the past week there's been a 1,000% rise in the number of people searching Google to find out when wasps will die in the UK, after a reported rise in the insects this summer.

Meanwhile, Cambridge United celebrated on Saturday after securing their first League Two win of the season away to Newport County.
The win fails to lift the U's off the bottom spot, but it will certainly be a big relief to under-pressure manager Shaun Derry, who said it had "got the monkey off our back".

"That's what it's been all about this season.
"The sooner that win comes, the better for everybody. Just to settle the whole place down," said Derry.
Cambridge United will hope to continue their winning run when they host Yeovil tomorrow night, which again we'll feature on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.

Peterborough United held on for another draw on Saturday after opponents Walsall hit the post in the final few minutes of the game.
Marcus Madison levelled for Posh, who found themselves 1-0 down after 17 minutes, but neither team could find a winner.
After the game, Posh boss Grant McCann said he thought his side should have done better than share the points, adding they are constantly working on "ruthlessness in the box".

"We should be winning our home games," said McCann.
"If you're not going to win the game, don't lose it. And we've done that this week."
Peterborough United go to Shrewsbury in League One tomorrow night. Full match commentary will be available on 95.7FM and 1026MW.
Re-appeal for information one year after Wisbech man went missingpublished at 08:52 British Summer Time 26 September 2016

One year after he first went missing, police are re-appealing for any information connected to the disappearance of Ricardas Puisys, a Lituanian man from Wisbech.
The 35-year-old was last seen at his place of work at Nightlayer Leek Company in Chatteris on 26 September 2015.
Despite multiple appeals, police have been unable to trace him and believe he may have been murdered. Last December one person was arrested, but they were released without charge.

Det Ch Insp Adam Gallop, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said: "Ricardas' disappearance is a mystery.
"I am near positive that the answer to Ricardas' disappearance lies within the local community – someone knows what has happened to him and I urge them to do the right thing and come forward."
A £10,000 reward is being offered by Crimestoppers.
