I wonder what all kind of predators we have here that may eat those?


How often is an aggressive plant or animal introduced and we have and we have something fight it off?

That's Coyote Peterson. He intentionally got stung by an Asian Giant Hornet. Fast forward to the 8-minute mark to see him get stung.

Reminds me of this movie from the 70’s. The only reason I remember the movie is because there was a scene that was filmed in the Superdome

Anyone remember when Mexican killer bees were going to kill us all?

That was pretty impressive. In summary the Japanese honey bees can survive up to 118 degrees F and the Giant Hornet only 115 degrees F. Pretty crazy that they know this and are able to run their temperature up to 1 degree below their survival temperature.

Lionfish is delicious. Ate myself sick when the wife (no pics) and I were in Belize a couple years ago.

If you read up on these hornets they are called "murder hornets" because they decapitate bees and wasps and eat their throats.

It has nothing to do with humans.

From CDC:
quote:

Among U.S. residents only. During 2000–2017, a total of 1,109 deaths from hornet, wasp, and bee stings occurred, for an annual average of 62 deaths. Deaths ranged from a low of 43 in 2001 to a high of 89 in 2017.


Just another fake news hoax to scare Americans.

Scariest part about the hornet is that they will absolutely destroy honey bees. A handful of these things can kill an entire honey bee colony in no time. The honey bees in the US have not adapted the vibrating heat generation that their Japanese counterparts have in order to fend off the hornets.
