About this work

Vespa crabro, commonly known simply as the "hornet", is the largest European eusocial wasp. The specimen in the picture is a fully grown worker (female) – measuring 25 mm (about one inch) from head to abdomen. Another detail in the picture is one of the three ocelli between the two compound eyes.
