I made a hornet series last Sunday

and posted one in my gallery with some movement in its wings.

click Hornet .

I wrote there that I would post some in the forum,

so here they are.

 

I was very proud, because I came close to a hornet nest.

Such a wonderful huge insect it is.....

It was very exciting to see a nest of it.

So I took the risk,

and went through the bushes to come close!!

I react allergic if they sting me.....

So I am very proud of myself that I did,

and yes I came very close about 10 cm......

Pity that not all are sharp,

but it was really exciting to catch them......
