Just a handful (like around 8) of these hornets can kill 30,000 European honeybees within hours, which they then go into the hive & take the bee larvea and eggs to feed to their own children. And they also kill like 70 Japanese people a year.

Gross!
Whoa that thing is huge man! Although it looks more like a honey bee…
Uh, why did you google search and submit the first picture? :\
Godzilla and Friends… 😀
Fuckin’ huge!
You could almost play baseball with one of those. Just piss it off and grab a bat!
Omg, i thought getting popped by regular hornets in the woods at work was bad enough. Glad i don’t live in Japan.
Holy crap! From Wikipedia:
“The venom contains at least eight distinct chemicals, some of which damage tissue, some of which cause pain, and at least one which has an odor that attracts more hornets to the victim.”
And
“The hornets can devastate a colony of honey bees: a single hornet can kill as many as 40 honey bees per minute; it takes only a few of these hornets a few hours to exterminate the population of a 30,000-member hive, leaving a trail of severed insect heads and limbs.”
Japanese hornets ain’t nothin to fuck with.
Just like wu tang clan beep beep
They should call them Ninja Hornets for sure
But they don’t possess any ninja like characteristics, Hepathos … :\
They can fly like ninjas.
Ninjas don’t fly, they soar…
they make those tarantula killing wasps look like chumps.
Ninjas can poison you a hundred way, so does these hornets
Ninjas don’t poison you, they cut and slice you….
Only the beginners. The middle class ninjas uses poisons. The master ninjas just look at you and you explodes.
Oh snap I didn’t know that.
It.
With Fire.
Kill.
