They're not really that big if you think about it.

 

[BenHargrove]

Technically cazadors do exist and they have the most painful sting in the insect world.

Even their name is terrifying... Tarantula Hawk Wasp. WTF!?

 

[Weenerz]

Why are they so big? The pollution in China mutated them? ARE THEY MUTANT BEES? ARE THEY PART OF THE X-MEN?

 

[OSHAN]

These hornets are the real deal:

Fuck these guys.

 

[mm04]

Wow. Those things are terrifyingly large. Capture some and release them in North Korea, please.

 

[Cow Mengde]

I killed one of these big hornet at a Buddhist temple when I was a kid. It was on the ground in the yard.

 

[Mojojo]

This is proof that God exists and he is a cosmic sadistic giant insect.

There's a joke about reincarnation in there somewhere...

Asian hornets 'heading for Britain'

6 September 2013 Last updated at 11:29 Help
Swarms of vicious Asian hornets may soon be heading across the Channel to attack the UK's bee colonies.

Defra said it feared the species had already, or was about to, spread to Britain during its peak season of September.

Speaking to the Today programme, Tim Lovett, of the British Beekeepers Association, explains why the Asian hornets could have a negative impact on our bee population.

He said: "The hornets are interested in honey, and they want to get in there as it's an easy source of nourishment. But of course, in getting in there they have to pass the guard bees at the hive entrance, there's a right royal punch-up takes place.

And generally speaking, because the hornet can sting without it losing its life, whereas when the honey bee stings that's it."

Do those fuckers have natural enemies?

If yes: do they harm us?

If no: [random nope image]

 

[Talon]

It's like the fucking size of a dog, what the hell.

Looks like a Nutria.

They've gone hog wild in Louisiana.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

What in the world!

 

[Akuun]

That is one of the bravest things I've ever seen.

 

[Conciliator]

Awww I want 2 give them hugz. then they wouldn't hurt anyone!

 

[mackattk]

Yeah... This is why I don't go outside.

 

[Tonguer]

This is the stuff of nightmares.

En Oh Pee Eee.

 

[Derrick01]

Jesus christ they look like Cazadors from New Vegas. They also pretty much kill you in 1 hit too!

This is some Fallout level nonsense.

Well it is ridiculously polluted over there....

 

[Wazzy]

Oh god I actually flinched seeing the size of those things.

 

[chickdigger802]

It doesn't end at the stinging and biting, oh no. Nature isn't that fucking nice.

They spit acid, too. That's not where the fun begins though -- that acid? Not only does it melt your skin, it releases pheromones that calls other wasps to fuck you up. And when they get the signal, they're pissed.

The sound they make is horrible, too. A friend of mine saw one in Japan when he first moved there. He thought it was a hummingbird. His friend knew what it was though and ran the fuck out, and told him to run away too.

This is some video game boss bullshit. I'm using my teleport scroll back to town...

Huh. My mom never liked cats because when she was living in the rural areas of china (required for school) for a semester, their cat was scared of the mice... i can see why.

No.

Picture was probably taken using someone with tiny Cee-lo hands to make them appear larger than they really are.

 

[filler]

Kaiju

 

[brickface]

Just punch them, it takes them ages to line up a sting

 

[badb0y]

Nuke these fuckers from orbit.

Roger that.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Well I suppose the human race had a good run. At least we saw the BB finale.

 

[4444244]

Nope, it's a full grown man's hand, a British TV personality called Jeremy Beadle.

This is a gem of a post (if you're from the UK).
