I had one at Roundrock that was the size of a basketball.

I have seen some that are as big as basketballs. I'll try to find a photo of one in a more advanced state than this one.

Hornets are very protective of their nests.swamp4mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500364141244115390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10279728.post-47030068583784660732007-04-18T20:30:00.000-04:002007-04-18T20:30:00.000-04:00I'll tell you what - I clicked again and that is a...I'll tell you what - I clicked again and that is a fine photo. You've got more backbone than I.
