There's only one way to comfortably observe the inside of a hornet's nest: through a video on YouTube.

A large group of European hornets conveniently built its nest on Redditor Redararis' window, giving us a safe (yet terrifying) view inside.

Even more disturbing than watching the insects is the sound of the scurrying through their nest, so make sure you turn up your volume (or turn it off it you don't want your nightmares to be haunted by the buzzing and tiny footsteps).

In the original Reddit thread, Redararis states he has no problem with the hornets because "winter is coming and the wasps will die by natural causes in one to two months."

Redararis also uploaded a picture to the nest in its infancy. Small, but still frightening.
