[QUOTE="jltrent, post: 1629190, member: 21075"] https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/02/us/asian-giant-hornet-washington.html With queens that can grow to two inches long, Asian giant hornets can use mandibles shaped like spiked shark fins to wipe out a honeybee hive in a matter of hours, decapitating the bees and flying away with the thoraxes to feed their young. For larger targets, the hornet’s potent venom and stinger — long enough to puncture a beekeeping suit — make for an excruciating combination that victims have likened to hot metal driving into their skin. In Japan, the hornets kill up to 50 people a year. Now, for the first time, [u][b]they have arrived in the United States.
