Hey, want to know a better way to photography bugs. Put them in the freezer for a good few min, pose them on something, and snap their photo before they warm up and fly away. Works every time unless you leave them in the freezer for more than 5 min and it dies, then it won't hold it's pose... cuz it'll be dead...

that's cheating

also it's kinda painful to put hornets in freezer

If you're going to cheat, you may as well do it right. Better than using tupperware, amirite? Do you speak from experiences with hornets in the freezer? I've done it with bees before but nothing else.

when I was in cooking school, one of the senior students caught a hornet and put it in the cooler and then tied a string around it like a leash and then tied the other end to the teachers podium. it was quite funny when he started to try and fly around

It's a friggin hornet guys. Don't get all PETA on his ass.

My cousins in Ontario used to have fish in the pond outside. When winter came and the pond froze, so did the fish, but they thawed out in the spring and survived.

I think you'll find the fish who survived were underneath the ice, not inside of it frozen. See, water expands when it freezes, which means it creates a nice insulating layer of ice on top of ponds under which fish can survive.

(See, if the fish actually froze, it would a'splode. Left a goldfish outside one night when it dropped below 0C when I was young. Wasn't pretty)

That being said, I'm all for killing hornets in maddeningly torturous ways.

I dunno man. Water was about 4 inches deep. It was winter in London, Ontario (-15 for quite a while). Pretty sure that was frozen solid.

I'm>>57549. It's not horrible at all. They're cold blooded insects; this is what happens to them during the winter. Different specifies of insects will respond differently to cold, some will die, some will slow down, and some will actually enter diapause(a state similar to hibernation that warm blooded animals go though). It's a lot better than what some photographers will do, using a jar with alcohol or cyanide to kill the insect skr8 ^, then photographing it dead.
