Giant hornets kill about 50 people a year in Japan, and their sting is like sticking a very hot rod into meat, and they have the ability to pierce the protective clothing worn by beekeepers.

And according to what an entomologist in Tokyo told the Smithsonian Scientific magazine, the sting of this wasp has the ability to damage human tissue, and its toxicity is equivalent to that of a snake, and 7 bites of it may be enough to kill a human.

Since last November, a bee farmer in Washington state has found a pile of the remains of an entire hive, which looks like a scene from a battle, with heads and legs separated from the body, and a swarm of giant Asian hornets is believed to have passed through.

Wasps are characterized by a very large size and lower jaw in the form of serrated fish fins, which have the ability to penetrate the beehive.

Other than their gigantic size, these wasps have a fierce face, eyes protruding like spiders, orange and black stripes running down their bodies like tigers, and undulating wings like a dragonfly.

Chris Looney, an entomologist in Washington State, told the New York Times that if we can't get this under control in a couple of years, we probably won't be able to tackle the giant hornets.

He added that two insects of this type were found last winter, but it is difficult to know the extent of the presence of these insects in the state, which called on the authorities there to organize a campaign to combat hornets, while beekeepers set traps for these insects, which are dangerous to bees and humans together. , they are able to penetrate the allowances of bee farmers.
