Hornet Nest

[RBrogen]

Here's a shot I took of a hornet's nest at my neighbors. This nest is larger than a basketball. After a couple of shots, this guy walked to the front of the opening and stared out almost as if to say what do you think you are doing. C&C welcome.

Like it- always amazes me how little bugs can build a large organised structure.

I'd be a tad worried about getting too close knowing what's inside the Nest.
Did any of them come and to check you out while you were taking photos?

You brave person :huh that's quite a monster sized house for such little critters.

Good Shot :thumb .... Skippy :D

Thanks Skippy/Brian.

Yes actually I started out with a few shots with my 70-200mm and then thouhgt better of it and put my 100-400mm on. After making the swap as I was looking throught thre view finder I saw them begin to gather at the opening and one did fly out and buzz my head and chased me for a few seconds before going away. That's when I said enough :)
