European Hornet (Vespa Crabro) on Ivy Hedera helix

great picture!he looks a bit of a meanie.

well Sue.. got a bit shaky when I took this pic lol

lol,dont blame you.

Now that is scarey! I don't think I would have stayed to take the photo :)

Dito if there is one thing that really frightens me its Hornets!

I don't understand why people are afraid of Hornets as although they are bigger than their cousins, the wasps, they are less agressive and less likely to sting.

Bigger than a wasp Toto?!! three times bigger
but very intersting to watch..it was after flys bees and ladybirds

Well caputred they bite too.

Not convinced Toto scared of wasps too, but these Hornets wow I would run a mile !

Well I like them!

Brave lady ,great photo Deida

Janette I love nature..yes I was brave ,but how often do we see hornets.an opportunity not to be missed

Wouldn't want to upset him!!!!

or her...thanks Paul
