I saw a TV program a few weeks back - I think it had those Kratts guys in it. Anyway, they were in Japan looking at this crazy aggressive species of giant hornet. Did anyone else see this? Those things were scary as hell.

Ive seen those things up close and personal when I lived in Japan.

One of my neighbors buildings had a mud nest RIGHT NEXT to the window.

called the exterminators and doused that bastard with some sort of acid insecticide.

after the nest was destroyed, I went to look at what was left and saw the most gigantic freaky looking wasps Ive ever seen.

I just knew that being stung by one of those would feel like a living hell.

yeah, i have seen it too......pretty nasty wasps, I have seen them in turky and France too and I have brought a few back home (dead)

they are HUGE, a sting hurts more then a normal wasp sting, but it isn't more dangerous!
