The 5 Most Horrifying Bugs in the World

[bijou]

Japanese Giant Hornet (vespa mandarinia japonica)
 

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 *******, 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 cocktail 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 *******ed place, including outside Tokyo.

Forty people die like that every year, each of them horribly.

the rest of them are here

This is why Japan should have been nuked down to Bedrock in WWII.

Hopefully these little buggers are sensitive to climate change and Global Warming will kill them. Fire up your Hummer, you are helping rid the world of a scourge.

I saw this the other day on another forum.... something I never would have imagined. 

To be honest I can't see it taking off with tv audiences, it is a tad slow as fights go.

I didn't know who to cheer for.

(The Japanese have always been easily amused)
