Hornet nest
Hornet nest attatched to the trunk of a tree. Hornets are social wasps. A queen hornet starts a colony by pasting pieces of chewed bark together to form a cell. The cell is built upright so that the queen may lay an egg inside. Further cells are built next to it to form a horizontal structure called a comb. Various layers of combs are constructed until nest has a oval structure

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate architecture of a hornet nest, delicately attached to the trunk of a majestic tree. Hornets, known as social wasps, exhibit remarkable teamwork and ingenuity in constructing their colonies. The process begins with a queen hornet meticulously pasting together pieces of chewed bark to form individual cells. These cells are built upright, providing an ideal space for the queen to lay her eggs. As the colony grows, additional cells are constructed adjacent to one another, forming a horizontal structure called a comb. Layer upon layer of combs is meticulously crafted until the nest takes on its distinctive oval shape. This natural masterpiece serves as both home and territory for these fascinating creatures. The photograph captures not only the impressive architectural feat but also offers insight into the world of these industrious insects. It highlights their ability to create complex structures using simple materials found in nature - showcasing their resourcefulness and adaptability. Displayed against a backdrop of lush greenery in Vermont's wild landscape, this image encapsulates American wildlife at its finest. It invites viewers into an entomological exploration where they can marvel at nature's wonders and appreciate the beauty found within even the smallest inhabitants of our planet – reminding us that every creature has its place in this vast ecosystem we call home.
