...not by me I might add. This was the work of my insect-phobic father. The abdomen is missing...yucky! Quite pleased with this for a cheap compact shot tho.

Ah no sorry...forgot to add...the reason it was swatted so enthusiastically by my father was that it was a hornet...and it was massive.
Everything is a photo opportunity - even a corpse!
+ve very sharp and good colours
-ve missing body parts?
Apparently it flew through the window like a B52 bomber! A slight exageration I think...but yes...a hornet.
Nah...I rolled it all over the page and I couldn't get an interesting enough shot from the back. This was taken in Easter this year so it certainly wasn't looking for a winter hide-out!
And it wasn't me that killed it by the way...I'd have put it out in a glass. 
It certainly wasn't the Sun! Give him some credit! Ick! No it would have been The Guardian. LOL!
+ve: Killed by a Guardian reader! Good detail and light. Nicely comp'd
-ve: Actionable by the Insect Preservation Society! Weird pose (despite it missing the majority of body).
Rotating CCW 45 deg might produce a more interesting take
