Female Hornet unearthed from a compost heap today.

This little beauty on my gloved hand was revealed from a compost heap in Surrey.  Woken up, it tried to fly off but seemed too confused to succeed.


I left it to hibernate in the leaf litter in a border.

About Me

My Photo
Cuckfield, West Sussex, United Kingdom
In my former working life, I was a biologist who entered commerce in sales and went on to marketing in Milan and to manage sales and manufacturing companies in Holland, Belgium, West Germany, the UK and Ireland, selling Hi-tech diagnostic equipment primarily to hospitals. My five children are from two marriages -- my first wife and son were killed on a bicycle in 1978. Now I share my life and ramble on with Gloria. My interests include Natural History and History. I have a number of illustrated talks on such topics which I enjoy giving.
