Hornet's Nest by tonygig

Hornet's Nest

Went down to an old fishing spot of mine and came across this Hornets Nest in an old tree, had to be very careful not to get stung, Out of 84 shots I got one Photo, all the fishermen were laughing at me as I tried to take the shots as the Hornets flew at me. (What we do for a shot on 365) Best Viewed On Black.
Oh wow. Not even for 365 would I have done that! Fantastic shot Fav

Wow, that is dedication to 365! Fabulous capture and a fav.
September 16th, 2014  
wow, crazy! I hope you did not get stung. This is a wonderful shot and well worth the effort! Fav

Do they sting with their tail or their strong looking pincers!
September 16th, 2014  
This leaves me speechless - no way would I stick my face this close to a hornet! You're one dedicated photog!

Thank you all very much, Hornet stings are very painful and can kill if the rest of the nest attacks, I have just looked up about hornet sting and a Mother Aunt and six year old daughter were Killed in Borneo, the Mother was stung 50 times, a hornet can sting more than once.

Have to fab as I know how hard it is to photograph a hornets' nest! I took some shots of one a couple of years ago (desperate for my shot if the day!) and only found out later that they have a 'guard' and if you upset him he releases pheromones that make the colony attack!!
September 16th, 2014  
Fantastic capture!!!!! Looks really dangerous!! fav!!!!!
