Researchers found that giant hornets can be lured into traps using sex pheromones, according to a new study published in the journal Current Biology.
Many people often refer to them as "murder hornets," but it's a sensational name that should be avoided, said study author James Nieh, professor and associate dean in the department of biological sciences at the University of California San Diego. "They are predators, but so are lions and tigers, and we don't call them murder lions," he said. Trapping the invasive insects
Nieh's team created a series of traps using sex pheromones to attract male hornets. Pheromones are chemicals that are produced to convey information within a species, according to Nieh. Male hornets are attracted to the female hornet's sex pheromone, so researchers used their own mixtures of synthetic pheromones along with a natural sex pheromone from a female Vespa mandarinia to test which traps would perform the best.

That because a couple lions dont tear apart an entire pack of gazelles in just one afternoon.
A few of these things completely wipe out an entire bee colony in an afternoon.
