Hornet

One of the perks of living on the central coast of California is a distinct lack of bugs. I'm not saying there's none, there's plenty, but whenever someone visits from the midwest or south, they marvel at how few bugs there are, I'm totally OK with that. Take for instance this little critter by Takamichi Irie, I can't tell you the last time I saw a hornet, they're around I'm sure, but I haven't seen one.

One of the things I love about living on the central coast of California (and conversely, hate about visiting relatives in the mid-west) is the lack of insects. Sure we have bugs, but mosquitos are fairly rare and we don't suffer like they do elsewhere. But you know, if the were as cool as this MOC by captainsmog, I might not dislike them so much.
