Can we please stop calling them "murder hornets"? That should've died off like a year ago...
Retrikaethan
i feel like murderhornets are one of the things that legitimately qualify for breaking out the napalm-based flamethrowers.
BigStacksThrowItOnThemBigFatTatties
I've been stung by wasps... and i have murdered countless wasp hives, some night i wake up and hear the screams of the little baby wasps :(

I saw a dude get stung by one on a trail in Japan. He was weeping and his arm had almost doubled in size. They are sneaky little fuckers.
MiniBlop
Damn, i got stung once and it burns like a hot blade, but i didn't have any reaction
AmArschdieRaeuber
Sounds like an allergic reaction

We are a different breed over here on the island

I don't know. They defended their home from an invading kaiju. More like self defense hornets.

They are no longer murder hornets, but disappointing failures!
MapleSyrupMafia
Great... I've heard of sightings of those in BC years ago, didn't know they were actually there now... Fuck humans.

Thank you!
greggoda
Are they different from Cicada Killers that are commonly found in Texas?
Habitman
I'm allergict so they'd probably literally murder me
mondomar
That word should only be reserved for humans. I don’t care for the term. It takes away from the word.
Kbantar
Especially since they're just defending their home from giants that literally want to kill them.
ballsoutflyer
Okay, who had murder hornets in Canada on their 2021 "what the fuck" calendar?

“The likelihood of a serious sting incident is roughly the same as being struck by lightning.” Says man who actively antagonizes lightning.

I like how people go "calm down, they only kill like 15 people a year in Japan". That's about equal to EVERY AUSSIE SNAKE SPECIES COMBINED.

Bold*. It's bold-faced lie.

Read. It's read the post

If you have been stung in the past, being stung again can often cause you to have a more severe reaction, rather than desensitizing you.
Kbantar
Allergic reactions are sometimes hard to predict. Sometimes a major exposure does nothing, while the next minor one requires an epi pen.
Drakhma
a reg ol wasp sting can turn that area of where it stung me into a baloon. so if i see one floating around ima run. not hang around.
chicktracy
imagine waking up at night and some giant blasts your friends with strange mist and drowns them in liquid

Those are small for giant hornets, right? Wikipedia says 45mm body length. Maybe he has large hands.

Imagine this dude as like a final boss in a game but you don't know it at first, you see him like level 1 as a honey farmer only to find out
G0MeatCube
He is evil and when you go back to talk to him the gif starts and his stomach is hollow but filled with bees. Does that shirt reveal.
