I took this photo with my iPhone yesterday. I focused on the shadow...

Just buzzing in to tell you that to me, it looks like that be(e) a hornet, actually...
But it is a nice, clear picture for something taken with an iPhone rather than a real camera.

You forced me to do some research today.
Google told me that "Hornets are wasps, but not every wasp is a hornet". The creature on the right below is a "Paper Wasp," which is not a hornet and it looks a lot like the insect in my photo.
Who'da thunk?

Why is an iPhone not a real camera? Mine produces sharper pictures under any condition than the good old Kodak Instamatic which I have heard called many things, but never not a real camera. But I am fascinated that there is a different between hornet and wasp. But I am too lazy to look it up, similar to the difference between vulture and buzzard.

All buzzards are hawks. No buzzard is a vulture. No vulture is a buzzard. No matter how long the residents of Hinckley, Ohio persist in their delusion.
And a hornet is of the genus vespa or wasp as are (wait for it wait for it) wasps.

I do know the difference between a Hawk and a Falcon. It is Raymond Loewy and Lee Iacocca
