Metal Print : European hornet
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
European hornet
European hornet (Vespa crabro) on a mans hand. It is the largest of the European wasps, reaching up to 35 millimetres in length. Hornets have a reputation for being aggressive, but only sting when provoked. The sting contains a mixture of nerve stimulants, which causes the pain. Certain individuals may be allergic to the sting, which like stings from bees, may cause anaphylaxis. One symptom of an anaphylactic reaction is inflammation, which in extreme cases if located around the throat may result in asphyxia and death

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring European hornet, also known as Vespa crabro, perched delicately on a man's hand. With its impressive size of up to 35 millimeters in length, it is undoubtedly the largest among European wasps. Despite their reputation for aggression, these hornets only resort to stinging when provoked. The sting of a European hornet contains a potent mixture of nerve stimulants that induces intense pain upon contact. Similar to bee stings, some individuals may experience an allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. This severe condition can lead to inflammation and, in extreme cases where the throat is affected, even asphyxia and death. In this remarkable image captured by 1996-98 AccuSoft Inc. , we witness the intricate details of this winged creature's anatomy—its wings spread wide against a backdrop of nature's beauty. As an insect belonging to the order Hymenoptera and family Vespidae, this social insect plays an essential role in our ecosystem. Let us marvel at the wonders of zoology and appreciate these fascinating creatures that inhabit our world alongside us. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of their existence but also highlights their significance within our delicate balance with nature—an exquisite testament to both wildlife photography and scientific exploration alike.
