The bald-faced hornet is distinguished from other yellowjackets by its striking black-and-white coloring. It has a white or "bald-faced" head, which is the source of its colloquial name. , For a photo taken with a bridge camera, it's not that bad!! exposure data:, 1/250 sec f/4.7 on a Lumix bridge camera focal 94mm

  • Camera: DMC-FZ40
