    Good thing we've been thru this before here. I think there's a tips thread.
    May need a new one for these big fuckers. If they stung a car tire, you could get a flat from the looks of them.

    Are these things a substitute for the gnats or the flies plague? Or, maybe just a bonus plague.

    Tiny murder hornet killing drones armed with lasers is the only solution. Let's get on it!

    Fuck. Two pages of killer bees version two ?

    I survived killer bees paranoia one.

    We got one or two really bad killer bee movies.
    Where’s your murder hornet movie bitch?
    Kill all the telemarkers
    But they’ll put us in jail if we kill all the telemarkers
    Telemarketers! Kill the telemarketers!
    Oh we can do that. We don’t even need a reason

    Remember when we were all making fun of the Rat Flu? We better start taking this threat seriously or we'll end up even more quarantined!
    And as someone who is allergic to bees, that thing looks like it would probably kill me.

    I’m ready for a murder hornet to pierce my pecker.

    I've been stung quite a number of times over my life. As a kid playing outside I had my fair share of run ins with hornets nests. I have been stung many a time riding my bike. I have no desire to get stung by a murder hornet.

    There’s an antibody test being developed so you can verify if you had murder hornet previously. But you know, prevailing opinion is that you did NOT have murder hornets, just some other lesser deadly strain.






    Well then, all jokes aside I guess I remember this vid from the other wasp thread linked above. Was this posted here? From 8 years ago. Not sure if there are the same or not. Similar but look slightly different.

    The murder hornets are a diversion.
    What we really need to worry about are the ants...

    Flattening the Murder Hornet curve is really gonna sting!
    Scientists now have decisive molecular evidence that humans and chimpanzees once had a common momma and that this lineage had previously split from monkeys.
