Pretty cool how they are fighting it.
“As soon as they see the hornet coming to the water source to drink, the guy jumps out with a net, and he grabs it. Then, ever so carefully, he ties a string on it and lets it go.
“There’s a spotter watching it now with binoculars, and he watches this thing as it flies, because obviously it’s going to fly back to the nest. When they find it, they mark where the nest is.
“And at night they come back and with a flame-thrower, pretty much go at it, just follow them back to their base camp, and when they least expect it, boom, go after them.”

Originally posted by RifleBowPistol View PostTwo of the worst wasps on the planet from what I have gotten out of watching documentaries, are some wasp from Australia, naturally, everything over there is bad. Then those murder hornets from Japan. I don't remember which is considered worse, both very bad, very aggressive.
I have also been told by my father in law, who is not always exactly correct. That there is some large wasp that burrows holes in trees up in the north west, that is bad news. It's supposed to be very large, makes holes up in the tops of pine trees or other tall timber and not something you ever want to make mad. He used to be a logger up in Oregon many years ago. He said those wasps were not something you ever wanted to run into when you were way up a tree, cutting the top or even cutting a tree down, then cutting or moving it around.
Never been stung, but have seen 2 people(different occasions) stung by one.
It's not your typical reaction.
You lose your breath, and pretty much the ability to react.
Make a grown man cry fo sho.
