Lovley shot. I only managed one decent shot of a hornet this year. Followed it around for ages till it took about a 4 second rest stop.

Good shot - like all insects they'll be distracted and generally slow when either feeding or mating.

If this were easy, I think getting the shot would lose some of it's allure.

Now all that following and waiting was worth it just to get the capture. Nice one!
