[News] Murder Hornets hit the UK

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, these vicious ******** have arrived in the UK and they are as big as your THUMB

Deadly ‘murder hornets’ that can chew through human skin and kill with a single sting have hit the UK.

The terrifying insects were first spotted on Guernsey last month, and now one expert has shed light on how murder hornets can attack humans.

Speaking to WUSA, entomologist Dr Samuel Ramsey explained: “We've been sounding the alarm about this insect for months.

"It is a very large insect. About the size of your thumb. It has these very sharp, large mandibles that are attached to these really big muscles that allow it to chew through a lot of different fabrics.

"They can chew through skin, and they also have a really long stinger."

Dr Ramsey added that the insects’ poisonous venom can destroy human cells and cause excruciating pain.

These feckers arrived in the Channel Islands a few weeks back, but I thought they hadn't been given clearance to enter the UK on a point of visa issues.

I had a mahoosive ELECTRIC tennis bat (as in you could make it produce an electric charge) when I lived in Taiwan. Usually for groups of mossies but absolutely ideal for the time a swarm of hornets got into our apartment building.

I have no idea if they were MURDER hornets but they didn't like it up 'em.

You need 52 murder hornets to make a cricket bat, not including the handle.

I blame Rees Moog they look like the sort of thing he'd be friends with.

Been reading elsewhere about the F*****Rs. They are PWOPA NASTY.

Very bad news for bee keepers too - they can kill off a whole hive in a couple of hours (by ripping the heads off the bees).

We get quite a few hornets in our (Tory) garden because of the woods over the fence, and have had a nest or two in the shed at times. Not these *******s though. Yet.

Praying Mantis. They take no shit from this pretender.

There is a video in YouTube of a stand-off in which the Praying Mantis grabs the hornet and then slowly eats it face first.

I don't normally watch such gory horror but it was rather compelling.

Part of the same article but slightly less sensational:

'Nicola Spence, Chief Plant Health Officer, said: “By ensuring we are alerted to possible sightings as early as possible, we can take swift and effective action to stamp out the threat posed by Asian hornets.

“While the Asian hornet poses no greater risk to human health than a bee, we recognise the damage they can cause to honey bee colonies and other beneficial insects.'

Where's Honey Badger now, eh? Too much for you this one?

In the clip above, the Mantis gets slaughtered.

I think wasps do this as it is.

Just to confirm these are indeed here. Had one fly into our house over the weekend and they are bloody massive. Make sure you hit it hard enough first time to stun it as they take a few good whacks to kill.
