Killer hornets, snakehead fish, grass carp, Tree of Heaven, Covid-19…what’s your damage, Asia? Did you have a brain tumor for breakfast?
Not now, murder hornets.

These aren’t much bigger than Eastern cicada killers:
Though it sounds like they are more aggressive. And the last thing North American bees need right now is another problem…

So reading the article I wasn’t deeply fucking horrified at all to discover that the sightings have essentially been in a geographic triangle, one side of which lies my house. No more outside time for me, holy crap.

These things can kill praying mantises. No bug beats them one on one (yes, there was a web site where a guy tested this)

Honey Badger. Honey Buzzard. Is “Honey” the new code word for bad-ass animals?
“Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Pit bulls shall now be known throughout the land as Honey Puppies!”
I think that works better if you imagine it in Michael Palin’s voice.

And just like injecting bleach, we can easily sell flamethrowers right next to hunting rifles and family protection handguns.

Yeah, I know. I wonder if there’s a region in the world where things are relatively peaceful right now for humans.

They’re from Asia. You KNOW there will be pissheads who will use this as an excuse to harass and attack natural-born American citizens of Asian ancestry.

“Part of a leg…”? “A” leg? Is it not important to specify whose (or what’s) leg? Because I think it is!

I’ll only start worrying about giant “Murder Hornets” when Trump start telling people not to worry he’s got the “Murder Hornets” all under control.

I have slain many a wasp and hornet with my trusty badminton badmitten, whatever, the shuttlecock slapper thingy, makes mince meat of wee flying devils. Lord come to think of it I should be in pest control, hmm. I never hurt the Tarantula Hawks that live around here, I love them, diligently eating spiders for me, love those things. This is why I don’t spray DDT and stuff.
