Hear me out - the way it wiggles out and flies away makes it way less terrifying.
The way it murders all the bees and destroys our favorite little crop friends still sucks. "Asian giant hornets, an invasive pest not native to the U.S., are the world’s largest hornet and a predator of honey bees and other insects. A small group of Asian giant hornets can kill an entire honey bee hive in a matter of hours."
From the WSDA press release:
"The successful detection of a nest comes after a WSDA trapper collected two live Asian giant hornets on Oct. 21, caught in a new type of trap the agency had placed in the area. Two more hornets, also living, were found in another trap the morning of Oct. 22 when WSDA staff arrived in the area to tag the previously trapped hornets with radio trackers and follow one back to its nest."
I imagine someone destroying this hive would have to put on a spacesuit with the glass bubble helmet to feel safe enough to go after these buggos. My anxiety just went way up. Good luck, bees and scientists and... everyone.
