I remember a video of a guy shooting some kind of wood boring hornet on his porch with .22 shot shells if I remember correctly, blasting them out of the air.

Seems to me that if you put the word 'Asian' or 'Africanized' in front of any species, it's going to be a lot more badass than usual.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WhiskersTheCat: WTF The female tarantula hawk wasp stings a tarantula between the legs, paralyzes it, then drags the prey to a specially prepared burrow, where a single egg is laid on the spider's abdomen, and the entrance is covered.[3] Sex of the larvae is determined by fertilization; fertilized eggs produce females, while unfertilized eggs produce males.[3] When the wasp larva hatches, it creates a small hole in the spider's abdomen, then enters and feeds voraciously, avoiding vital organs for as long as possible to keep the spider alive.[3] After several weeks, the larva pupates. Finally, the wasp becomes an adult and emerges from the spider's abdomen to continue the life cycle. The tarantula hawk was the "role model" for the creature in the sci-fi movie "Alien" |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Bronsonburner: Originally Posted By okiehunter39: Are these like the killer bees that were supposed to kill us all a few years back? Worse. These things kill the killer bees. Actually, they go after honey bees, and thus far are only found in the PNW.

Sunday! Witness Murder Hornet versus Killer Bee!!! This Sunday on TNT! ETA: Ya know, an enterprising young lad with a bee keeper suit, and a couple of 4K cameras could grab a nuc of murder hornets from Washington, and drive them down to Arizona in search of a colony of Africanized bees. Or better still, an Africanized honey bee removal service. |

From a local beekeeper page:
"From Ben Powell...Well, The NY Times has done it again. They have attempted to create hysteria where there is none. This time it's with a story about the Asian Hornet which they so thoughtfully deemed "the murder hornet." In so doing, they have blown a small problem way out of proportion and made the lives of specialists and researchers much harder. 1. The Asian Hornet is not the "murder hornet." 2. It was introduced to the US near Seattle, Washington where it remains 3. Asian hornets are not found in South Carolina. If you see a large hornet in SC. It is most likely either the European Hornet or the Cicada-killer, neither of which threaten bees. 4. The sting of an Asian Hornet is not more deadly, than any other wasp/bee. 5. States and the USDA are developing monitoring programs in case the Asian Hornet begins to spread, but for now it is only found in northwest Washington state. If you want to learn about an insect or any other animal, search its scientific name, not some made up name designed to sell advertising space and subscriptions. The Asian giant Hornet is Vespa mandarina. The Clemson Apiculture and Pollinator program will provide more information about this subject soon." |

Starlings and blackbirds seek out hornets and wasps. In fact I've seen starlings eagerly eating European hornets, which are very similar.
I would imagine the already ubiquitous starling would control invasive hornets. |

We get Cicada Killers here on occasion. freaking HUGE wasp that's about as docile as a sleeping puppy. Unless you do something to it like step on it or squeeze it, it could care less about you.
I was allergic to bees as a kid. Developed a huge fear of them. Started working at Orkin and got used to dealing with German Yellow Jackets and other wasps. Got so comfortable dealing with them I could walk up to the nest without my bee suit on. Bee suit went on when I went to treat them, aint stupid.  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Bronsonburner: Worse. These things kill the killer bees. Much worse. These things will wipe out domestic bee populations. Can't pollinate, can t get fruit vegetables. Also, if I am not mistaken, if these things sting you, it basically melts the flesh where you are stung.  |
