    Huge hornet....

    We have our share of large wasps ("waspers" as they're called in Tn.) and hornets, but I had one waiting at my door this morning at work that beats all of them. It's a ground hornet that's about 2 1/4" long and has a stinger about a 1/2"!! I caught it in a jar and it's been a very entertaining little guy to have around so far. It's very pissed off, obviously. It keeps turning its' ass towards me and squirting out this liquid stuff! I can't tell if it's shitting, pissing, or trying to spray me with some kind of cosmic poison or something. I'm going to let him go in a moment, that should be fun!






    I got stung on the hand by one of these bastards when I was a kid. I was turning over a log in the woods and a swarm of the came out from underneath. I remember I couldn't go to baseball practice for days because my hand was too swolen to fit in my glove! But again, fear not bug-lovers, I'm letting him go now!

    Fuck that, I would spray or squash that monster instanty. Just looking at it on the screen makes me nervous. I HATE bugs.

    Sleep. The sound doesn't collapse to riffs of early eyes either.

      In the first picture I thought 'that tiny little thing?'

      Then I scrolled down and saw it in the jar, HOLY FUCKING SHIT.


      I would seriously NOT release that, it will go apeshit on you...
      You took too much, man. Too much. Too much.

        Makes me glad to live in the UK where the worst animal is an Adder and there's hardly any of them!!

            We get those around here too. Big fuckers aren't they? Apparently, they kill honey bees by biting their heads off.
            Sleep!!, That's where I'm a viking!!

                Yup, they do, then they remove all limbs, wings, etc and feed the nutricious meat of the body/thorax (where all the muscle is) to their young.

                The bees are not as powerful, but they actually swamp the Hornet, with hundreds of bees and smuther it and violently vibrate their bodies to create heat, they actually cook the hornet alive.

                  We have all kinds of awful insects down here in New Orleans...it is just terrible. We have those massive tree roaches that fly for about a month out of the year during some kind of breeding season. One of those cocksuckers got into my house about a month and a half ago. It was pissed and flying all around. It was a solid 3 inches long, minimum. I was freaking out because those bastards WILL crawl on you if you in the house...they are drawn to you. Generally they do so when you are trying to sleep. I didn't have any spray and that thing was not going to be alive when I went to bed, I can tell you that much. I shot it with my BB gun. Took 3 shots to get him dialed in, but I clipped him enough for the cat to take care of him later.

                  Yeah, I hate bugs that much...I put 2 holes in my wall...but I got him.

                    Oh no, my friend, we have hornets that kind of size too, believe me. I found a nest in an old Victorian manor house a couple of years ago, they were the huuuuuge. People apparently mistake wasps for hornets, but once you see a real hornet, you won't mistake the two creatures, they dwarf wasps.
                    So I woke up,rolled over and who was lying next to me? Only Bonnie Langford!

                    I nearly broke her back

                      Ah don't feel bad about killing that thing... Wasps, Hornets, Yellow Jackets, etc... have no useful purpose. As stated above, they are a detriment to Honey Bees which do play an important role in nature (and are also less likely to sting you).

                      They're not that big here, but everytime I turn around they are building a nest somewhere on my house. I take great joy in wiping them out

                        +1. Kill that fucker before he gets out and comes after you!
                        I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

                            If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit. Unless you are a table.
