Calling it "Asian" is racially incentive and will lead to the targeting of Asian communities

(Am I doing this right?)

Invasive giant hornets have been spotted in the US for the first time

Just when you thought 2020 could not get any worse. Now we have giant "murder hornets" with freakish eyes and a venomous sting to add to this year's list of worries.

Seriously wtf?!? If I saw a two inch Hornet flying at me I’d shoot the damn thing with a 12ga!!!
What else is 2020 gonna bring?

 

[Cunth]

how do they know they are asian? is it cause they're yellow?

 

[Slings and Arrows]

2 inch isn't that big

They cant drive for shit.

 

[iconmaster]

If you’re not voting for strong border control by now, I don’t know what to tell you.

 

[aerts1js]

Yeah, one of these flew into my apartment when I was living in Korea. Scared the hell out of me. It was a battle to the death.

They're really good at math

 

[GeorgioCostanzaX]

Fuck! African Killed Bees on 8mm reel to reel scared the ever loving shit out of me in elementary school and now this? I thought 2017 was bad but at least Adam West and Roger Moore didn’t live to see this!

 

[highrider]

If it’s those ones from Japan that’s bad. Those things kill people every year. Ground hornets in America can be lethal as well because they are so aggressive and sting people to the point of going in to shock or cardiac arrest. Not only that but they slaughter the poor honeybees

[LOLCats]

Spoiler

Murder Hornets

 

[SpartanN92]

Can’t wait for June when we get radioactive saber tooth tigers, sharks with frickin laser beams or some other bullshit.

Ready for this shit year to be over already. Can we call a mulligan on 2020?

 

[nush]

2 inch isn't that big

[J-Roderton]

Super Killer Murder Danger Mega Hornets.

May: Killer Bees from Japan

Gotta place the bets for December, I was all-in on Yellowstone or aliens but with everything coming from Asia I'm now thinking "maybe Kaijus?"

Yellow peoples going nuts, those crazy motherfuckers

 

[JayK47]

What's next for 2020 I wonder? Regular hornets are bad enough.

"...with a sting that can kill a Human if bitten multiple times."

sting...bitten

Well, which is it? Being stung multiple times can kill a Human or being bitten multiple times can kill a Human. That Hornet has both a stinger and mandibles; what the fuck is CNN reporting on?

 

[neobiz]

The fuck ever

I have a multitude of shit that is out to get me

 

[MetalAlien]

In the 70s and 80s it was killer bees.

[mcz117chief]

I met one in Nagasaki two years ago. It sounds like a helicopter when they fly near and you can even hear their footsteps when they land

 

[triplestation]

im coyote peterson

AND THIS

IS FUCKING RACIST

 

[-BLITZ-]

Yep. I had one in my balcony two days ago. It was giant. These asian giant hornets have appeared three years ago in my city. They buzz around my windows, specially the kitchen. I'm going to let my fiber mosquito net attached to all my windows all the time from now on.

 

[DragoonKain]

I just read an article that they came from China most likely.

What is that country trying to do to us???

 

[Kenpachii]

Story's where told the chinese builded the chinese wall to keep people out.

The reality however was everybody around them was building a wall to keep china out.

 

[Cutty Flam]

Imagine if that thing somehow stung a nut or god forbid, the fucking main vein

Things would never be the same bro

 

[keraj37]

 

[keraj37]

So US dropped covid-19 in China, now China retaliates with dropping giant hornets in USA.
Makes sense to me.

 

[Virex]

 

[Lanrutcon]

American: "Giant whaOHSHIT!!"
Australian: "Can't talk right now, mate. Too busy fighting the snake I found in my toilet."

I'm surprised no one has filmed this yet.

 

[Starlight Lotice]

China are unleashing all sorts on the US aren't they?

The Hornets are there to finish anyone off who go outside and ignore the lockdown.

Pretty clever, China.

 

[Despera]

https://edition.cnn.com/2013/09/27/world/asia/china-asian-hornet-deaths/index.html

Remember this?

~580-600 stung, 19 dead. That's a ~3-3.5% mortality rate.

All within months of eachother... With similar levels of mortality. You may be up to something here.

...did you just compare 19 dead to 247,000 dead?

 

[Shrinky Dink]

Snakes in Australia are highly poisonous. It must be a conspiracy!

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Thankfully I live in a state with cold winters. Our ecology often cannot support the full lifecycle of larger insects. Oh well.

 

[Super Mario]

Yea, they came from a Chinese hornet research lab

fry em up

I bet they lay tasty eggs/larvae.

 

[Droxcy]

Yeah they're no joke... I already hate flying insects , I'm going to buy a bug zapper with a flame thrower attachment lol.

 

[Shrinky Dink]

Historically, invasive species were more likely to originate in Western countries and end up causing problems elsewhere around the globe.

Mainly I'm talking about cold-blooded murderers of anything living and breathing common house cats.

 

[Skyfox]

Is there a difference between a hornet and a wasp or is it just a dialect thing?

 

[Nikodemos]

Is there a difference between a hornet and a wasp or is it just a dialect thing?

A hornet is a type of wasp. Main differences from regular wasps are, hornets are larger, more venomous, and invariably eusocial (some wasp species are solitary). Also, hornets tend to be more predatory than regular wasps, owing to their larger size and strength.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Keep importing from Asia they said.
