It's nice to see a new photo contest on Steemit!

Here is my entry for this round:

This is the face of Vespa mandarinia japonica, the Giant Asian Hornet. This is a social wasp and can be found throughout Japan and East Asia as well, Japonica is a sub-species but the size really doesn't change all that much. Found this one recently deceased, I think it drowned, they are, ironically, rather weak to heavy rain.
