π "A little education" π
I have to admit, that as a macro photographer, I just know to little about my little friends...π...π...π...π...π...π...
So, from now on, I will try to include fun/weird facts about the bugs or insect, that you will see on the photos. I think, that is a fun way for me to educate myself and everybody, that follows me. π
No more talk, let's go and find some interesting facts... π
Did you know....
- Hornet sting is 15 x times milder in comparison to a bee.
In general, BEE stings are more dangerous, than a sting from a hornet.
It was scientifically proven on a base, that hornets don't have real enemies, so they don't need a strong poison (For killing a bee or other wasps). Bees, on the other hand, must defend the hive (Jap, NaturePure - honey) from all kind of bigger, stronger predators.
- It's doesn't inject all the poison in the first sting.
WHY?
Because they will sting multiple times! After 5 stings, he will use up all his poison... but not to the bad news is, those guys comes rarely alone.
Cam: Sony a6000
Lens: Sony 90mm macro G OSS 1:1

I like the photo too, but the focus is a little bit off... (It's not perfect on the eyes) ...but at the end of the day, the nice soft colors make it all up π

Thank you @pradeepdee6 π
I like that lil fella. Is a hornet the same as a wasp? Your photo does him justice and the facts are good for my mind :)
Thank you for the support π Happy, that you like my work βοΈ and to answer your question...
No. Hornets are bigger, but they belong to the same family - Vespidae βοΈ
Ah, right :)
