As usual, the Enemy Media makes sure the Murder Hornets know that ‘The Man’ is coming to get them, so they can move under cover of darkness! ;)

MHLM - they'll be rioting soon.

Nah, you guys are thinking of the old Hornet with folding wingtips. This is the NEW Hornet with cool winglets and missiles on top. You gotta admit, they look cool. Maybe the designer needs to fair them into the wing plan a bit better, though.

[freepertoo]

, one nest means there’s a good chance there’s others. Bad situation.

The technology to find the nests is amazing - I think they have a good chance of eliminating them

My problem with this is that I’m guessing

That's your problem, stop guessing and take the article for what it's worth...........Sheesh!

Then take my post for what is was. Words mean things, quit redefining them. Try it.
