“touching many lives”....
Hahahahaha...now you not only have to worry about that water trap near the 7th hole, you have to be careful when canoeing that it isn’t “Death From Above”!
Murder Hornets sound like something you’d find in Australia.
Everything there can kill ya, I hear.
Horrible. When I’m out hunting or hiking around here (southern AZ), I consider Africanized bees to be the most dangerous animals I might encounter, even though I’m not allergic to bee stings. They have already killed several people in the state over the last 30 years. Those bees will chase you as far as a mile, and I can’t run a mile in the desert while being continually stung, so they’d get me. If I hear that hum or see more than one or two bees flying nearby, I cautiously go the other way.
There are also paper wasps, mud wasps, and yellowjackets here, and it’s no fun being stung by them, but they won’t attack as aggressively as the killer bees.
Seriously: Heart-breaking story!

Yep, watch out for the footless varieties also.
They slither along and can get you also. Then
you have the multi-wheel and watery varieties.
Death abounds just be careful as best you can.
Read about Viet Nam having uncontrolled growth of these bugs this year. Dont fuck around with insects that can kill you
When does the next Eco-Adventure start?
I can hit that with my dad’s 12 gauge. Gonna need more ammo!
I’ve heard that the sting of the Tarantula Hawk wasp is very painful. Probably because they’re so big!
I saw them all the time in our yard in New Mexico.

Yep- i think the ‘kings of pain’ did a show on them- pretty terrible sting
Suddenly a little ice and snow doesn't sound like a bad proposition.
Probably severe anaphylactic shock after exposure to murder hornet venom.
