Bald-faced hornet (Dolichovespula maculata)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

Nectaring on queen anne's lace (Dauca carota). These are the wasps that make the large hanging paper nests. And if you really think about it, what an amazing feat for these insects to undertake. They actually make paper and out of that make a strong, sturdy, complex nest.
