Just in case you thought giant Asian hornets that can kill people weren’t terrifying enough, a graphic video shows one of the flying terrors stinging a helpless mouse to death. The skin-crawling clip was first posted in 2018, but has since resurfaced amid the murder hornet scourge expected to sweep the US.
The nightmarish minute-and-a-half video, which currently boasts almost 500,000 views on YouTube, shows the orange-and-black brawler locked in a deadly embrace with a mouse on the road in an unknown country. The behemoth hornet, which is the world’s largest at over 2 inches long, eventually emerges the victor and flies away, leaving the poor rodent twitching on the pavement from its multiple stings.
Giant hornets, which reside in the forests of East Asia, have killed up to 50 people a year in Japan using a potent quarter-inch-long stinger that can dissolve human flesh.

I like how they put a contrived nickname on the Asian Hornet to stir up panic.
And yet are not curious how they got here?
Where is the Green Hornet when you need him?
How do you think they got here?
I think they hijacked a cargo ship.
I was attached multiple times by a huge hornet. I was walking under an area of construction in late October, when I suddenly felt horrible burning on my back under my sweater. I put my hand back there, and it got my hand, too.
Just as I was turning to look, and wondering if somehow a welder’s debris had fallen on me, I saw this huge BUG flying away.
It had gotten under my sweater, probably attracted by perfume, which in those days was still made from real flowers.
I happened to be on my way to the chiropractor, and he dabbed me all over with baking soda paste. I was fine; but I never wore that perfume again until the dead of Winter.
I know a man who wound up almost dead when attacked by bees from a hive. His throat was closing up, and the medics got there just in time. He didn’t even know he was allergic.
To a mouse. Not to people. Unless a bunch get you. Really folks, nothing to get worked up over.
Seems that Asia has very few positives to offer anyone these days
Calling John Belushi and the Killer Bees!
Last summer, I had one of these land on my shoe. It was big. I tried to shake it off but it held on. When I tried to smash it with the other foot, I fell down a small embankment and hurt my right shoulder. It was sore for a couple of weeks. Who brought them over here and for what reason?
He quit after the Giant Asian Murder Hornets ate Kato.
I thought the headline said the hornet killed a moose. I am relieved.
Yikes, I am allergic to regular bees!
Have you been stung by one? Wondering why you think these hornets aren’t dangerous.
More gifts to the world from asians
It’s not like Asian people created this hornet.
Quick Everybody, Shelter in Place, Lock it Down!!
