A hornet

[bunn]

I forgot to mention that while on holiday, I met this magnificent hornet. It retreated to begin with, but then came out to be photographed in a sunbeam.

Then I opened the door and it flew away making a rich deep buzzing noise, like a small propeller driven aeroplane.

It's so fuzzy! Are your hornets always fuzzy like that? It's like... a bumble-hornet!

When they're sitting still, I think they're really intriguing. When they noisy-buzz around me, I'm terrified.
