Yup, saw this on Gawker. The thought of these things scares the crap out of me. Why does all this weird s**t come from China and Australia?

Look at the hornets snapping them in half. Massacre.

Thank you Canada for killing frosts.

If they're the same as the Japanese ones, they release a pheromone on anything they bite to attract the other ones in the area.

I saw a similar documentary once in full HD. There was something ominous and eye opening about seeing such a relentless massacre and knowing that we share the planet with such creatures. Reminded me of Starship Troopers in real life. Those things are just plain wrong. I guess this goes to show that honey may be the ultimate warrior fuel!

[ZEDGE]

Are these normal or some weird mutation?

Either way, nuke them from orbit.

:eek:

[woodywoodford]

ALL ABOARD THE NOPE TRAIN TO FUCKTHATVILLE!!!!

[Power_Of_Rotary]

Hornets have always been so interesting to study. I dont find them that scary as compared to tarantulas or cockroaches. Maybe because of how "badass" they are and they dont look super creepy?

[heavyfuel]

How long until some crazy scientist is commissioned by some rogue nation to somehow make these into controllable weapons....

[A3GTiVR6SC]

:dunno: lately I've gotten better an better at swatting a flying wasp to the ground an stepping on it to finish it off. I'd imagine these fuckers aren't as quick..so i would test my luck with a couple of them....if its a swarm though, fuck it, I'm out!:burnout:

[legendboy]

I have only been stung a few times in my life

First time I got stung on the ass by wasp when I was little

Second time 13, a bud I am were spray painting the side of a building when we saw cops and quickly ditched our paint behind this forked tree. I stuck my foot in the bottom of the tree and all of a sudden all I could hear was buzzing inside my ears. They flew up my pants into my shirt I was covered then I started to feel intense pain all over my body. I freaked out went running down the alley tearing my clothes off down to my boxers. I might have even ripped them off, i don't remember
I think I got over 100 stings, went to the doctor and he said we would be fine.
I dream about that once and a while.

Last time was about 10yrs ago at some snowboarding thing downtown. I accidentally brushed a bee off my hawaiiian tshirt and bang i got stung on my pinky. i had pain and a mark for more then 6 months


I can't imagine what those stings feel like and looking at the pictures of that dudes arm with the holes in it :cry:

Well, those hornets dont just bite, their bite has venom in it which produces acid which causes the deep burns.

[zieg]

Japan has something similar too

Their bites don't pass venom. The only venom is through the stinger. The biting is used only when eating, not attacking.

this one just ate a preying mantis
