[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sitting at home one day when I spotted this massive flying insect (wasp/ hornet?) land on one of my plants on the balcony of my 10th floor apartment.
Upon closer inspection I realised that it had just finished building a nest and what looked like- laying eggs.
So I rattled off a couple shots of it, and needless to say- sprayed the nest with insecticide shortly after it left.
Impressive work though, the actual nest looks almost identical to a clay pot- only much smaller obviously.

Murderer! what you did is outrageous, and I thought you were the nature loving type!
