4 cm Hornet of plenty

What do you suppose?
A bee sat on my nose.

Then what do you think?
He gave me a wink.

And said, "I beg your pardon,
I thought you were a garden."

This 4 centimeter sized wasp is a scary thing to look at. Let alone sting:)
I only had time to take a quick shot, so this is as sharp as it got for me.

What a humongous creature.
If that was on my arm I'd freak out I think..

I cannot possibly compete with all you winners out there, it's raining greatness out there!
But, heck, I got a good weekend of excellent camping out there in Belgium near the French border. How was your weekend? Posted 8 years ago

Very sharp shot Ludo, next time a bit closer if you dare.

  Thanks, Jeroen! Yep, I would have liked to take another shot, but allas it was gone with the wind;)
  I wonder how it feels like when you're having a close encounter of the painful kind.. Posted 8 years ago

Nice shot Ludo, and indeed quite scary. For the ultimate scare I recommed you visit Malaysia, almost all insects there are monster size. As in, flies the size of a small bird. Posted 8 years ago
