Polistes carolina
Range: Southeastern and south-central United States Habitat: Woodlands; this nest was in a Button Bush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) Season: Summer-fall
Stumbled upon this rather large nest trying to get a picture of an orb weaver spider. As I slowly backed away, I couldn't help but snap a few shots.

I hate those things...But it really is a beautiful picture.
Nice snapping!
