I don't think I've ever seen such beautiful hornets - a deep metallic blue, so shimmery and sleek. Very sexy insects. Unfortunately they're all over my sister's garden, so they will have to be taken care of at some point. My two little nephews don't need to be stung by these gorgeous pollinators! Here you see them on the parsley flowers, doing their part to ensure that my brother-in-law has viable parsley seeds for next year's crop.
