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?
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
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?
I thought the headline said the hornet killed a moose. I am relieved.
More gifts to the world from asians
Quick Everybody, Shelter in Place, Lock it Down!!
And I for one, welcome our new Hornet Overlords!
these don't look so tough.
Great. The next damn panic. Will they shut down the country over it?
They are big enough to carry a GPS tracking device. Follow them back to the nest and ignite.
Wonder if the doors to beehives could be made small enough so the big hornets couldn’t get in.
Wait until the Government puts a frigging Laser on these things and sends them out to enforce Social Distancing.
Not to be confused with a giant cicada killer!

I’ve seen ghouls and hobgoblins and witches
And some moth-eaten werewolves with fangs
There were creatures that chattered and others that clattered
And Japanese monsters with fangs (ah-so)
Frankenstein gives me the shakes
And Count Dracula’s driving me batty
But they’re not on a par with the worst one by far
The cockroach that ate Cincinnati (ha ha ha ha)!
