There are many insects that can--and will--sting when they feel threatened. However, many types can only sting once and their stinger is lost in whatever has been stung. Not the hornet! Hornets have a smooth, supersharp stinger that can be used over and over. That's not the only danger these insects pose--and readers can learn all about it. Full-color photographs allow readers a closer look at an insect better left alone in the wild. Fun fact boxes and a colorful layout augment science content, including the hornet's stinging behavior and the building of their nests.
