Asia’s ‘murder hornets’ were spotted in the United States for the first time recently, causing scientists to worry that the insect might be colonizing.
“In Japan, the hornets kill up to 50 people a year. Now, for the first time, they have arrived in the United States,” the New York Times reported Saturday.
The article continued:
With queens that can grow to two inches long, Asian giant hornets can use mandibles shaped like spiked shark fins to wipe out a honeybee hive in a matter of hours, decapitating the bees and flying away with the thoraxes to feed their young.

Nightmare material.
.410 should handle them alright.
More fearmongering from the Slimes ... any excuse to go to mail-in voting this fall!!
*** Another gift from Asia ***
What next, a virus that kills 100,000 and a nationwide economic shutdown?
Also must be an impeachable offense.
I suggest we all shelter in place until the hornets die.
A friend of mine from Alkol, West Virginia, says she’s seen one already.
No invasive species survives an upstate NY winter. This turf belongs to black flies and ticks.
Just stay in your house and always 24/7 wear a dumb mask and you’ll be fine...
We will shortly be forced to say another name for Asian hornets. Why? That’s racist. And xenophobic.
I will not stop.
The Asian Lady beetles look like large ladybugs and were introduced into the American South a few years ago. Still multiplying.
And the earlier flu virus and the plagues in Europe were really ASIAN. “Spanish flu” was from China but killed people in Spain.

Crack wise all you want but these sumbitches are no joke - their venom has flesh dissolving chemicals and they can fly at 25 mph.
Another “gift” from Red China.
Hmm. Maybe I could plant a nest of those on my front porch. It would keep the salesmen and Mormons away. :)
Beware of hornets.
"And I for one, welcome our new Hornet Overlords."
That's alright, I'll go after 'em with one of these. They gonna have to fly faster than 25 mph!
Just when we thought it was safe to go outside!
