--- Quote from: zz_tophat on August 04, 2009, 09:50:25 AM ---Yes, it's real and yes, there are hives full of them but don't worry, they do not sting, their stingers only spray acid at you: --- End quote --- Japanese Giant Hornet? They bite, sting, and spit acid. They're like the tanks of the insect world. I see you got the picture from Cracked, I saw that article too :D http://www.cracked.com/article_15816_5-most-horrifying-bugs-in-world.html --- Quote ---From: Japan, obviously. Why you must fear it: It's the size of your thumb and it can spray flesh-melting poison. We really wish we were making that up for, you know, dramatic effect because goddamn, what a terrible thing a three-inch acid-shooting hornet would be, you know? Oh, hey, did we mention it shoots it into your eyes? Or that the poison also has a pheromone roostertail in it that'll call every hornet in the hive to come over and sting you until you are no longer alive? Think you can outrun it? It can fly 50 miles in a day. It'd be nice to say something reassuring at this point, like "Don't worry, they only live on top of really tall mountains where nobody wants to live," but no, they live all over the goddamned place, including outside Tokyo. Forty people die like that every year, each of them horribly. --- End quote --- The war video for that thing is like "holy christ". --- Quote ---Behold the hornets systematically seize them with huge, wicked jaws and literally loving cut them apart, one by one by one by loving one. In three hours, there are piles of limbs and heads and just loving bits of things that could possibly have been alive at one point, and the hornets have stormed the hive and flown away with all the bee's children. Who will then be eaten. Nature is loving hardcore. --- End quote --- |
