Murder hornets... the thing we were supposed to be panicking over before COVID happened. Now we are too busy panicking over Ukraine, so the hornets will have to wait.

Not true.

They are known to attack people and animals that aren’t even close to their nests, like 50 -100 feet away.

So, you could be attacked while hiking in the woods along trails and not even be aware they were there until it’s too late..............

Do you smoke after sex?
I don’t think so, but I’ve never looked.

How about feeding them to the giant parachuting spiders? Maybe kill 2 birds?

You made me look. Sure enough, “murder hornets” from Japan are readily available on eBay.

I had a framed picture of Bug carcasses from all the biggest bugs in the world once but the glass broke and the bugs were disturbed.

there are some big nasty bugs out there that we do not have locally.

I don’t like our little mosquitoes either though, though Thermacell works pretty well to keep them away

"...who compete to mate with virgin queens,”

How long does that take in a hive? On the streets of NY - ten, maybe fifteen minutes.
