This will get you to stay home!

A roughly 2-inch long insect known as the "murder hornet" has made its way to the U.S. for the first time ever, researchers said. The Asian giant hornet, Vespa mandarinia, has been known to kill up to 50 people a year in Japan

I wonder what all kind of predators we have here that may eat those? I assume most birds will? Won’t be good for the honey bees with those hornets. Asian honey bees have a good defense against them but they will kill an entire hive of the western honey bee

ETA: I assume bats would

ETA: It always comes back down to bats, fricking corona

ETA 3: Now we gonna have to wear hornet suits in public

But murder hornets become most dangerous from late summer to early fall, when they ravage through honey bee populations. WSU researchers said the hornets attack the bee hives, decapitating and killing the adults and eating the larvae and pupae. Just a few of the hornets can completely destroy a hive in a matter of hours.

WSDA says on their website that the hornets do not typically go after humans, but if they do, not even beekeeping suits can protect against the hornets' stingers, which are longer and more dangerous than a bee's

I read a story a few years back about a man over in Japan that was killed by those. He had been weed eating out in his yard and stirred up a nest in the ground.
They came out ready to fight. He supposedly pushed his wife to the ground and laid on top of her to keep her from being stung.
They stung him to death.

Satan's hornets.
