Insane Bald Face Hornet Nest


Had an internet provider come out to see why my speeds were slow. He was trying to get to my back alley and went down a wrong alley at a house nearby. Discovered this nest in one of the trees. Bald Face Hornets. I've noticed a couple in my native micro prairie here and there, and wondered where their nest was a couple months ago. Now I know! It's bigger than any I've seen online when looking up the species. Easily 30 to 40 inches.

    It’s beautiful my god. Sucks it’s so close to where people get in and out of the cars they can be pretty terrible end of season.

    One fell out of its nest and down the back of my shirt last summer. Found out quickly they can sting multiple times and I’m not allergic. Feels like a hot needle poking into you.
