The best I could make from your description is Vespa crabro (European 
hornet). But then again, I'm not even really sure how large a quarter is 
:-). Have a look at this page:

bro.htm

(should be one line) or

Perhaps you'll see something familiar..

I'm sorry that I can't answer your other questions.

Regards,
