Description
Hi there.
Today a portrait of that advantageous insect. Those jaws where made for biting for sure.
A friend of mine, he's a beekeeper as a hobby, tells me that he watched hornets catching bees in flight. Then they bite off the head, the wings and the legs and bring the body to the nest. They are great predators.
Hope you like her friendly face. Have all a great weekend.
PS: Yesterday I bought a 60mm macro-lens - I will try to take a shot of the hornet with that new lens and post it in the next weeks. Stay tuned an be thanked for all the kind words and support here.

Great to see her head on!
well you got exceptional detail with your stock lens.the 60mm will afford some closer detailed captures.I look forward to your results
This is one great photo and one ugly insect
Best thing I have ever seen is a dead hornet with pins to confirm it is going nowhere; Been fighting them for years here at the house.
Fantastic close-up macro shot my friend, excellent capture.
Your pic is really nice! Great!
Nice closeup- it looks like this hornet is missing its right mandible? I saw a video of the infamous Japanese Hornets (which are HUGE) and it only took a few to completely decimate a nest of bees- I think they dispatched somewhere around 30,000 in 4 hours!
glad i'm not a bee, get my head bit off enough at work.
Super and great photo.
