Admittedly freaks that size are rare but yes, they do exist and are becoming increasingly common here in this South-East part of the UK, perhaps due to climate change - They have the same shape, markings and flying posture as their smaller counterparts. And hurt a lot more when they bite me. Maybe I'm immune to their anaesthetic or something.
Bloody things.
And some sites say they grow up to 5cm, I'm glad I haven't seen any that large here yet.
