comanche 2,799 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 It's been a bit hectic with nests around here. Had to deal with these lovelies today. The customer had just missed them with a hedge-trimmer but luckily ,as she was only wearing shorts and tee shirt ,they lived up to their docile reputation and just got a bit confused. 1 Quote Link to post

The Queens look like little hornets but the others in the nest are quite variable in colour from normal orange with strpes to almost black,with a few in between.
