 Baldfaced Hornet photos, info and life cycle

update.....new Baldfaced Hornet nest encountered on the new loop trail to the pond.  hey, as long as we have the extreme weedeater!!!!!!   now i read the description on wikipedia describing this hornet as quite aggressive if neared and i must say both of our encounters (surprises both times), including hornets landing on humans arms,  resolved with humans backing slowly away and no stings occurred.. ....just sayin'
