Literally. This is in an oak tree where I'm putting in a new field for a client. It's center of the photo. About 2 1/2 feel long top to bottom, and 18 inches across. Biggest one's I've seen...

That is why those Hornet spray cans have a range of 30-40 feet....

You could just wait until winter, below freezing, and bring it inside. All good then!
