Description
I was in the greenhouse and noticed this large and upset person struggling to release itself from a web. I managed to help it out of the window, where it remained attached for a full minute while I took a couple of photos. This is the only one that shows how cross it was!
I have never seen a hornet in my garden before, so I wonder where there is a nest..I don't think I have a suitable site, such as a hollow tree.

quite an experience ; great shot
F a b u l o u s i m a g e !!!!!!!!!!
"Out, damned spider! Out, I say!" (a bad twist on Macbeth...) Andrea, this is fabuloso, as you'd say. I love the motion, and how the hornet is looking right at us. (Or you.) A marvelous shot. And the greens behind him are shooting up like they're rays. Couldn't be more well-placed. A big arc for wings. A really fine action shot, I love the motion, and those big eyes are in-tense! Terrific!
a 'dont mess with me' look
I admire your courage. I may be a whisperer, but these things get a very wide berth from me when I see them. They seem to be so bad tempered. Great opportunity though.
Fantastic shot of this ill tempered flying insect. Luckily he didn't bite you Andrea.
Not even a thank you by the look of it !
Brave of you to help him out!
yes, and you did a super picture!
Well no wonder it was angry. "I've just escaped a slow and gruesome death and now you want me to pose for pictures?" A remarkable shot.
Awe bless, glad you saved it!!!
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
WOW! Fabulous capture Andrea good thing he didn't 'reward' you with a sting or two
WOW! It looks quite in panic. Superb shot, Andrea :-)
Marvelous POV!
You are getting a very nasty look Andrea and a bold photo!
