Big Beautiful Bald Faced Hornet harvesting wood pulp for her nest. Not a true hornet, she's the largest of our native yellow jackets at close to an inch long.
Lots of posts and railings made of washed up wood collected from the harbour provide resources for various Hymenoptera species in the garden.
Being calm and patient allowed me to capture these photos from about 2 inches away from her with a phone.
