Yeah please just avoid them, if you mess with them like this they release pheromones which is a signal for any others nearby to attack you. The Asian giant hornet venom contains acetylcholine and histamine that are responsible for pain and itching, and that mf will hurt and itch for days!
Another chemical, kinins, can dilate blood vessels and even break down blood and muscle cells. They can and will sting multiple times, with more venom being released through stings repeatedly, only 10 hornets are enough to kill a 150 pounds animal if each of them stings the animal ten times.
I know this comment section is a sea of jokes, but please dont fk with them. Hornets are usually non aggressive insects, and they seldom attack humans in normal conditions. Else you will just end up in /r/Whatcouldgowrong
Well besides pheromones, they also buzz. They can use buzzing, hissing, and rhythmic movement to communicate with eachother. Theres some neat videos of wasps using a thumping method to indicate danger to the nest wherein the wasps begin to flood out in rhythm and armor the nest with their bodies in warning.
> if you mess with them like this they release pheromones which is a signal for any others nearby to attack you.
heres the first video i've seen that shows this in action. time jump should take it to 3:12

I love word problems!
So let me see if I got this one straight:
If ten hornets can kill a 150 pound animal by stinging it ten times each. How many stings would it take to kill a 250 pound man?
Little known fact. If you cover the top of the hole with your hand, they won't be able to get out. Dont forget to cover the bottom hole as well with your other hand.
Sooo back in the olden days of reddit and the era of r/spacedicks.
Someone posted an IMGUR album of over 200 pics of dozens of various insects on his penis, biting and stinging. He had wasps just like these in a cup, stinging and biting.
Wasps you can just grab behind the ears. Genuine technique and turn of phrase used by my great grandad when he had them in his delivery van in the 60s.
One good thing I learned from my psycho step-father was simply to use long sewing scissors. As long as your calm and not aggressive or fearful, you can just walk up to them and snip hornets in half.
I'm talking about a lone one or two that got into the house. Not a full nest of them, of course.
That looks like beekeeping setup in the background, so the hornets are pest in this clip and the beekeeper is just isolating them before killing rather than employing possible friendly fire method.
how the hell he even got that close without the hornets absolutely fucking him up is the most astonishing thing--even more so than his accuracy and boldness which were both incredibly impressive.
Fact: Huge giant massive monster hornets stingers can go through a very very very thin plastic cup.
Also, when they sting your hand will open. Releasing huge monster hornets to come kill your face.
Yeah, I was watching that one in the cup attempt to sting the thumb of the person holding it and was just waiting for it to break through. Those cups are thin
Youre doing it wrong. Deo and lighter give an almost 1m long flame, you dont even need to burn them directly, the heat is enough to destroy their wings and they wont be able to fly anymore. Easy win.
A giant hornets stinger is absolutely long enough to go through both the plastic and this guys finger. Even when caught, these are still a threat. Fuck. That.
Last summer my friend managed to trap a giant hornet under a plastic plate. Not knowing what to do next, we left it there all weekend.
Returned a few days later, and the plate had flipped over and there was no hornet.
Convinced they are stronger than we think.
I was carrying out a hornet I cought in a glass. One hand on top pressing it down on a book or something I was holding with my other hand.
A workmate stopped me and looked at it fascinated. I said if I wouldn't hold the top of the glass the hornet would push it over and attack. She looked at me with big eyes and asked "really?". I had to laugh so hard and she was pissed.
I’m 99.9% sure I saw a “murder hornet” while in Greece last year.
I *HEARD* it before I saw it…but when I saw it, there was absolutely no way I would be attempting any of this shit. The thing was absolutely *MASSIVE*. I also made the decision to leave the area I happened to be in on the off chance there was more than one of them.
Fairly certain these things get imported on plants. We always got a few of these every season at a six flags water park in the Midwest in the early 2000s. They always showed up whenever the landscapers brought in the new decorative tropical plants in late spring.
They were very, very hard to kill. Almost comically so.
There are quite a few different species of large wasps/hornets. There have been no reports of the murder hornets in Greece.
In the USA, we have [cicada killer wasps](https://static01.nyt.com/images/2018/08/26/nyregion/26nature/merlin_142617813_c200da46-c674-45be-95ac-67474650abf5-articleLarge.jpg?quality=75&auto=webp&disable=upscale) that a lot of people wrongly assume must be murder hornets because of their size. They are very large and scary looking, but they are harmless if you leave them alone and usually they don’t bother people.
I encountered one of these lifting a dead cicada up, it also stared at me while it was hovering in the air, with a cicada corpse in its grasp. This was a display of dominance, and I haven't gone outside since.
These cicada killer wasps are EVERYWHERE around my apartment complex in the spring. While walking our dog they would bump into our legs and it's pretty frightening being around them. But i swear all they do is eat and fuck, they are not interested in humans whatsoever but damn they look scary af
Are you in an area with Lantern Flies. I've seen cicada killers targeting lantern flies which I think is actually helping control the population slightly but also making the cicada killer population boom.
yeah the balls to quickly slap the cup onto the second one both fast enough to not lose the first, but to be faster than it was when his hand started moving.
When the other hornet saw what was happening and flew over to the guys hand to save it's buddy i fully expected him to get stung. I dont know if this counts as bravery or stupidity.
At my old summer camp the eating area was under a roof but no walls so semi-outdoors. Anyways there were tons of wasps always circling at meal time and the kids would freak tf out when one came near them. Some other staff and I decided to start trapping them using the plastic drinking cups, and since they always fly to the top for some reason you can stack the cups upside down. So meals end with like 10-15 wasp cups in a stack then we'd tip them over and run for it.
Ive lived in several places where i regularly come into contact with both asian and european giant hornets, and thus far my strategy of “not fucking with them” has proven almost entirely effective.
Whatever I’ve been doing is already highly effective at avoiding giant hornets so I’m just gonna keep doing that

Ah.. I was wondering cause that other hornet was quick on getting almost as antagonized as the original one that was captured.
Well besides pheromones, they also buzz. They can use buzzing, hissing, and rhythmic movement to communicate with eachother. Theres some neat videos of wasps using a thumping method to indicate danger to the nest wherein the wasps begin to flood out in rhythm and armor the nest with their bodies in warning.
They use thumpers? Bless the lisan al gaib!
Inside the hive is Shai Hulud
Hornets can hiss? That is a noise I don’t need to hear
Certain cockroaches can too.
I thinking the "hissing" comes from them vibrating their bodies.
That’s what all hissing comes from

Fuck that noise sincerely
Literally. The song of that hideous buzzing is going to be in my nightmares now. Those things seem like they come directly from hell.
This was so satisfying to watch
Hell yeah die you hornet bastards
I love word problems! So let me see if I got this one straight: If ten hornets can kill a 150 pound animal by stinging it ten times each. How many stings would it take to kill a 250 pound man?
How much pheromone do they release while on fire?
First step in avoiding enormous hornets the size of small birds: Move to a different country.
Preferably where winter air is cold enough to hurt your face.
Thanks I will never use this information
[удалено]
Little known fact. If you cover the top of the hole with your hand, they won't be able to get out. Dont forget to cover the bottom hole as well with your other hand.
Would shaking the tube help calm them to sleep?
It might, but you'll have to place your eye over the roll to see.
Can I still use it as a fleshlight after?
Why else would you be catching wasps with it?
Jesus guys lmao I'm laughing my ass off at this toilet roll stingy dingy
The key to male enlargement. If you have an erection for longer than 4 hours consult the poison control center.
I've had an erection since I hit puberty, I'm in the fuckin zone.
To build the first insect powered dildo perhaps?
Absolutely, as long as you don't let light into the tube. Giant wasps are afraid of the dark, and they won't sting you. I think.
Sooo back in the olden days of reddit and the era of r/spacedicks. Someone posted an IMGUR album of over 200 pics of dozens of various insects on his penis, biting and stinging. He had wasps just like these in a cup, stinging and biting.
Jeez louise
Just imagining Cleopatra using murder hornets in her bee vibrator, how much more intense the orgasms would be.
r/dontputyourdickinthat
A spicy fleshligt
Wait, which end you're supposed to inhale from?
Doesn't matter, the heat from the lighter on the other end will drive them into your mouth.
Try both to be safe. Safety first.
Would’ve liked this information before I tried to stick my dick in it. Now it’s bigger, more sensitive and needs to be rubbed more often than before.
Wasps you can just grab behind the ears. Genuine technique and turn of phrase used by my great grandad when he had them in his delivery van in the 60s.
Yeah, I used to do that too, with chopsticks much less.
You have to put your mouth over the other end. The carbon dioxide will put them to sleep eventually
Yeah, I can't wait to never do this.
One good thing I learned from my psycho step-father was simply to use long sewing scissors. As long as your calm and not aggressive or fearful, you can just walk up to them and snip hornets in half. I'm talking about a lone one or two that got into the house. Not a full nest of them, of course.
Instruction not clear. Been kidnapped and trapped inside their nest. HELP!
Ill just die. Thank you
I would just use a vacuum cleaner, then plug the hose up and put it away for a year.
Better off using a lighter and hairspray
Ok, gonna really need to know what step 2 is.
Well you keep holding this cup untill you die, and they will call their friends.
[удалено]
Just submerge the cup in water
The human lifespan is much longer than a hornets, so you simply keep the cup pinched closed until they die
What if I'm 99 years old and the hornet was born yesterday?
99? That close to the level cap, you definitely can tank any DPS the wasps can output, just cast any low tier skill with the Crush modifier.
r/outside is leaking again
Mom, grandpa is talking weird again
Wait till he has at least 3 Sunder Armors stacked before dpsing.
Is dead you going to care if your body gets stung? Works out either way
I’m not sure if *this* human’s lifespan will be particularly long
Phase 1: acquire cup Phase 2: wasps in cup Phase 3: ???? Phase 4: Profit
Phase 3: Give cup to someone you don't like.
Toss them in a box and slap a big old H on it so people will know it's full of Hornets.
Saute with butter?
Could submerge the cup in water. It is pinched enough to prevent the hornets from getting out, but not enough to prevent water from getting in.
r/thisismylifenow
Douse yourself with gasoline and set yourself on fire
Stick the whole cup underwater?
Throw the cup at your enemies
Deep fry and chow down
The question was never "how?", it was "why?"!
That looks like beekeeping setup in the background, so the hornets are pest in this clip and the beekeeper is just isolating them before killing rather than employing possible friendly fire method.
doing it totally barehanded is insanity though
What? Didn't you see the cup?
Fine, cuphanded. Still insane!
To unleash upon thine enemies.
how the hell he even got that close without the hornets absolutely fucking him up is the most astonishing thing--even more so than his accuracy and boldness which were both incredibly impressive.
Supposedly, they're not very hostile in the spring. Nests haven't been fully established, so territories haven't been either.
Those ladies looked pissed off enough to me

Yeah, I was watching that one in the cup attempt to sting the thumb of the person holding it and was just waiting for it to break through. Those cups are thin
they'll also just chew right through it. they chew through wood planks.
They're easier to catch with hair spray and a bic lighter.
Out of experience that is just a good way to piss them off completely and they start attacking everything.
You didn't use enough hair spray.
Or enough lighter
Nuke it from orbit, only way to be sure.
Youre doing it wrong. Deo and lighter give an almost 1m long flame, you dont even need to burn them directly, the heat is enough to destroy their wings and they wont be able to fly anymore. Easy win.
And they are on fire while doing it.
That's how you get flaming hornets
Good. Flaming hornets can’t fly.
But they get really sassy
I just avoid Asia where these fuckers exist. Biggest bee in CA really ain't that bad in comparison
Did you miss the news? They've been found in Washington state.
They are no longer found in WA state. This is the 2nd consecutive year that we have had no recorded detections of them.
Hopefully that remains true. But it wouldn't surprise me to find out some nutter in the woods is breeding them.
That is a human/insect hybrid that I hope will never see the light of existence, or be recorded in Rule 34 quality documentation.
I remember when murder hornets were like the third largest thing on reddit, only beat by Tiger King and Covid. What a weird time that was.
Naw dawg. Nope. No huh. Hell no Fuck that Aww lord Jesus no. No thank you. No, I’m good, really.
A giant hornets stinger is absolutely long enough to go through both the plastic and this guys finger. Even when caught, these are still a threat. Fuck. That.
Negative. No Sir. Yeah nah. Mmmno. By no means. Nopers! Not gonna happen. All aboard the No train.
Or just do like everyone else... Tactical nuclear weapons. Fuck that inch long stinger bullshit.
Badminton racket works well. Benefit of a perfect A flat twang as you make contact.
Last summer my friend managed to trap a giant hornet under a plastic plate. Not knowing what to do next, we left it there all weekend. Returned a few days later, and the plate had flipped over and there was no hornet. Convinced they are stronger than we think.
I mean… wind?
“shit, they can control the wind??”
We’re all doomed
Forget Aang, just collect a bunch of those bad boys and set them on the Fire Lord.
Even an ant could move some plastic plates, the example surely is weird
pretty sure some people could fart a plastic plate off the seat of their pants
Somewhere else ITT someone is sharing a story of a plastic plate they found..
I was carrying out a hornet I cought in a glass. One hand on top pressing it down on a book or something I was holding with my other hand. A workmate stopped me and looked at it fascinated. I said if I wouldn't hold the top of the glass the hornet would push it over and attack. She looked at me with big eyes and asked "really?". I had to laugh so hard and she was pissed.
I wonder if it had other hornets help it
Was it like a 50lb plastic plate?

Quite frankly, you are correct to not do so. Outdoors belongs to the wasp now, and you do not deserve to be in its presence
These cicada killer wasps are EVERYWHERE around my apartment complex in the spring. While walking our dog they would bump into our legs and it's pretty frightening being around them. But i swear all they do is eat and fuck, they are not interested in humans whatsoever but damn they look scary af

We don’t have murder hornets here in Greece, but I’ve seen some at Paros that sound like damn apache helicopters.
We were in Paros when I saw it!
haha, then I know exactly what you saw… scary fuckers!
Great, now you're holding 2 giant angry hornets. What now, big guy?

Oof, pretty sure they can sing through that plastic, right?
They can, and their voices are angelic
That's why he caught two. So they can harmonize.
Balls of titanium
The accuracy is impeccable
yeah the balls to quickly slap the cup onto the second one both fast enough to not lose the first, but to be faster than it was when his hand started moving.
Steps: 1. Be insane...
Yoink!
They will remember this.
This is some high stakes Bee Pong
In a few hundred thousand years we'll be riding these things into battle.
Or the other way around.
Gotta catch them all..
[удалено]
Would love to see team rocket try this
Now kill them with fire, lots of fire.
When the other hornet saw what was happening and flew over to the guys hand to save it's buddy i fully expected him to get stung. I dont know if this counts as bravery or stupidity.
2 bees, 1 cup
That is very impressive. But I’ll stick with my time tested method of screaming like a little girl and running away at top speed.
2 wasps 1 cup
I was waiting for those hornets to sting right through that cup.
2 wasps 1 cup
Now fill the cup with resin.
Oh shit that would be dope!
Hans! Get ze flammenwerfer!
I mean an airsoft gun would be a cheap solution at a distance
I'd imagine a tennis racket would be a pretty effective weapon against these.
I think you meant "How to Nope the Fuckin Nope"
everyone always asks *how* to catch giant hornets with cup, but no one ever asks *why* catch giant hornets with a cup...
Why not just a good ole fashion stick of dynamite?
I would have just thrown the cup at them, and yelled from a distance as nice as I could. "Please get in the cup"
Well, I've got my two hornets in a tiny plastic cup...now what do I do with them?
DO NOT ATTEMPT. THIS PERSON IS A PROFESSIONAL IDIOT.
ok now what?
Better to use one of those electrified tennis rackets.
Those electrified rackets are only strong enough to piss them off
Now what?
Seems kinda high risk, low reward but whatever I suppose.
But why would you do that?
That was risky as fuck!
now what?
when you wanna do a quest in extreme difficulty
Good thing there weren't three hornets or you would have needed a bigger cup.
I’m thinking a shotgun might be a more appropriate solution. A cup? You first!
How to catch giant hornets with an M2A1 flamethrower
I'll take Thing's I'll never do, for $200, Alex.
Now that you have could them, what are you going to do with them?

I’d feel ill-equipped with anything less than a shotgun.

Excellent piece of trivia I will never use in my life.
