I found this hornet hiding out inside a daffodil after an afternoon rain.

Canon 7D, Manual Exposure with tripod, Canon 100mm Macro, 1/125 sec, F/10, 200 ISO, Flash on. Slight crop to center image.

Thanks for looking and all C&C welcomed.

Hey John:
Nice find. Good detail and DOF. I am always amazed how this critter can fly with the abdomen attached by a narrow waist. :toast:
