The Hornet is an insect. It's scientific name is Eusipal wasp.

Hornets can be found in Europe, Russia, North and South America, Asia and Africa. The Hornet lives in hollow trees.
Queen Hornets lay eggs in hollow combs. The eggs hatch after 5-8 days. When hatching they become larva. The next stage is to spin a cocoon. Finally they emerge as adults. The queen then lays more eggs. The fertilised eggs are males the remaining eggs are females. The males leave the hive and die shortly after mating.
The hive can have up to 700 hornets in late summer.
If anyone goes to close to the hive the hornet will sting them to protect themselves. The Hornet's sting is fatal to anyone with an allergic reaction.
Nectar, oak tree sap and rotting or over ripe fruits are the Hornet's primary source of food. The Hornet also eats small insects like the Grasshopper. It kills with its sting and jaw.
