| | | My First Hornet!
I've never seen a Hornet before & last night there 2 in the Moth Trap!! 
Gave us quite a shock I can tell you!!    
I never realised just how huge these things are & the droning sound they make is quite incredible, especially when being echoed round a wooden trap!

They are rather cool insects. I've seen a few in the last few years but took me until last weekend to get a photo, so well done for getting one of your first! |

The shocker was that there were 2!
Typical, just like number 7 bus!! 
The pics of the side of the trap was one & on the egg box was the other.
Scary thing is, makes me think there might be a nest near by!

Seen a couple before and they are huge! Thought i found a hornet in the garden the other day, but turned out to be a median wasp queen.
Hornets are supposed to be much less agressive than other wasps, so i wouldnt worry too much about a nest nearby, unless it is REALLY nearby  |

I saw a couple of these splendid wasps hunting around Ruislip Lido today; lots of old trees nearby for them. | | |
