Hornet

I couldn't officially identify this insect, but judging from the pictures in my bug book it's some sort of hornet- possibly the Bald-faced Hornet. I'm really impressed with my little Olympus and its macro setting!

This hornet might be a bald faced liar! That what the saying is! He would have a sting in his tail too!

I'm impressed with your camera's macro too. But that's not all there is to such a cool photo; it takes a cool photographer.
