Hornet nest

FWG

Ted discovered this hornet's nest attached near the base of a small tree north on our Old Woodlot. We usually see two or three of these large paper nests each year, but this is the first we've found this season. The inset shows Bald-faced Hornets sitting at the entrance. These and others were taking turns fanning their wings to move air into the nest on this very hot day. (SG)


other sizes: small medium original auto

Not my favourite insect, I was badly bitten by some in our garden some years ago!
