*V. maculifrons* queen overslept and just started exploring my basement. How do I release her as safely as possible?
She's currently in the bathroom. I have a butterfly net, but it's way too big for the tiny space she's in. I'd use the cup and paper method, but I'm afraid I'd piss her off, and she'd opt to sting before flying away when released. Is that at all a realistic fear, or do wasps tend to go for flight over fight if given the option when already antagonized? I also have a kill-jar sans kill mechanism for a bigger container if that matters, and I could try to coax her into a little portable bug carrier I have, though I fear too much prodding could also result in a defensive response. I'm not usually scared of wasps, but I have to admit, going to take a piss and seeing a wasp staring at me in a usually lifeless environment made me freak out a bit. My apologies if my adrenaline makes this post sound needlessly frantic.
Also, sorry for the shit photos; the lightbulbs need to be changed, but I've really never had a reason to do so prior to this.
