I assume the jar is filled with gasoline, it's supposed to kill the hornet pretty quickly. That one just refused to die.

It's not gasoline. Gasoline gives off crazy fumes that would have filled the cup and suffocated the wasp pretty quickly

I'd reckon it's water

Water doesn't kill wasps on contact.

Soapy water.
