Field Notes

Notes:

This hornet was in the house. Perfect opportunity to snap some photos before I released it. Truth be told I smacked it with the fly swatter to get it off the ceiling but didn't phase it. Jar and fly swatter was the solution to get it out of the house to live and sting another day.
