This is a bald faced hornet's nest I found in a maple tree in my backyard a couple days ago. The nest is bigger than a basketball and I'm told could house up to 700 of the nasty buggers.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

    I don't know about brave, probably just stupid. Thanks for looking.

    Where did you take this? According to my girlfriend (near Kalispell) there are no bothersome insects in MT, that is why she left MO!

    Wow. Most wasp/hornet's nest I find aren't this nice looking. They are usually just hives squeezed in cracks in between bricks or just small dried mud shelters stuck to a wall or roof. Nice find.
