EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by FLPA/Malcolm Schuyl, we witness the fascinating world of European Hornets as they establish their humble abode under the eaves of a charming house in Oxfordshire, England. These adult hornets are seen confidently guarding the entrance to their nest, showcasing their impressive size and striking appearance. As September rolls around, these industrious insects prepare for a season of cozy nesting. With nature's vibrant palette painting the background in hues of red and gold, it seems like even hornets can't resist getting into the autumn spirit! Their presence adds an unexpected touch of wild beauty to this quintessentially British scene. While some may find them intimidating due to their reputation as pests or fearsome stingers, let's appreciate these creatures for what they truly are – remarkable arthropods that play an essential role in our ecosystem. As inhabitants of temperate Europe, European Hornets contribute to pollination and help control other insect populations. So next time you spot one buzzing near your home's roofline or hear its distinctive hum on an English countryside stroll, take a moment to admire these magnificent creatures. After all, they're just trying to make themselves at home too!
