This afternoon I could make this photograph. We would visit a castle but that wasn't open. And a Couldn't make pictures of the castle. We tried still as from the back at the castle come. Also that did not succeed. However, we encountered nicely small lake and there I have made also photo's. We walk back and I see this large boy flying. I don't no his name in English. Except by its dimension of 2.5 to 4(!) centimetre is notable the Hoornaar "Vespa Crabro" by its reddish breastplate. He does not prevent much in the Netherlands, but is scarcity also no. Although the hoornaar a piece is larger than the ordinary wasp, he is less aggressive. If he puts is this, however, at least even painful as at an ordinary wasp, but he puts less rapidly. The horn ear is thus none dangerous and even no unpleasant insect and if he sometimes killerwasp become are called this total wrongfully.
