Thanks Raphael and Sebastian for sharing this wonderful Bald Faced hornet nest. This nest was made many years ago. Nobody is home anymore. Bald faced hornets are generally docile unless you mess with a live nest. They are pollinators and eat many pests out there. They are a native and beneficial over all. So just look at them but don't touch. You can come and see this nest in our Science Station and learn about these wonderful yellow jackets.

This guy was on our back door handle. He is a Carolina mantis. He is native to North America until the large green Chinese Praying Mantis.
Even the insects want to play in our Science Station.
We are going to release him tonight. Even though he wants to be here. He should be outside.
