Description
All I know about this hornet is that it was dead. I placed it on the top of a wooden pole at eye level to get this shot. I was amazed by the sting - not one I would like to have penetrating my skin in anger!

ooooo errrr
a black hornet? A wonderful insect!
Fantastic critter and capture!
This shot has a sting in the tail!! Nice one.
A handsome crittur although dead!
Hornets and any other members of the wasp family are immensely interesting, and thankfully I can say I've never been stung. It's interesting the pose this one assumed in death, and it's intriguing that the stinger was fully extended. What a find. Great capture.
Looks like some sort of parasitic worms breaking out of it's head very intriguing image
Excellent capture! the worst part of that stinger - no barbs! the can be like a machine gun when stinging you!
Ahhhh ... dead. Yes. I thought perhaps yoga. Some sort of sun salutation pose.
Yikes, scary stuff! But excellent capture!
Looks like the same specie i capture sitting on a yellow flower Clive. Superb capture.
Looks like he was contemplating his navel when he passed.
Excellent capture!
And very brave you were! lol Still you got an amazing shot Clive.. The detail - stunning! Well done! Rob
WOW - a dangerous creature in a great shot.
