Ohhhhh my lord :shock:
Those ****ers are vicious towards European honey bees.Ohhhhh my lord :shock:
They're invasive in the states.I didn't realize that hornets did that sort of thing. Didn't like the dramatization so I muted the music.
I didn't know they were called Japanese Hornets. We saw them everywhere in China, and they were freaky looking. One attacked me once and even though I was running it was able to keep up with me, unlike the wasps of North America. I've been stung so many times that I am a candidate for anaphylaxis if one gets me again.They're invasive in the states.
They'll wipe a whole nest out quick.
awesome, i seen it on nat geo or something, called hornets from hell.Ohhhhh my lord :shock:
Yea they are ****ing ridiculously huge.I didn't know they were called Japanese Hornets. We saw them everywhere in China, and they were freaky looking.

Big insects and arachnids just irk me. I've only been to a jungle once and it's the last god damn time, just because of the bugs. Nothing beats waking up to a spider the size of my hand resting above my face outside of the mosquito net. I'm just glad they aren't super huge like in prehistoric times.Yea they are ****ing ridiculously huge.
They are pretty well established in the South although not as prevalent as they are in China I'm sure.
Part of the reason that honey bees here aren't doing so well.
European honey bees haven't evolved to defend themselves against them like the Japanese honey bees have.
There's also a type of moth that has been predating on bee colonies, it to is practically impervious to bee stingers.

Don't go to Australia, I've recently learned that it's the continent of death.
Spud collects those damn things.
