It does look fierce!
They do look fierce, Suzanne. I wouldn’t go near hornets if I were you. ๐
Yes sir!
Haha. I wouldn’t want you to get stung, would I! ๐
No Sir!!
Nice! Really stands out!
Thank you very much.
You are brave even attempting to go near those creatures.
Ah, but I am not brave! The hornets don’t want to attack me. I am just playing on an ancient fight or flight reaction that is hard wired in all our brains. If I don’t hurt the hornets, or threaten them, they are unlikely to hurt me. Am I fooling myself, Alex? Will these turn out to be famous last words? I hope not. ๐
Sometimes what a human and an animal considers threatening are two different things, which is where disagreements and misunderstandings arise ๐
This is true, Alex. I hope the hornets don’t misunderstand my intentions.
Great photo. Love the editing. ๐
