Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get any crazier, we now have to contend with giant hornets from Asia that are affectionately known as Murder Hornets. Call me old-fashioned, but I’m not really into already-scary insects having the word murder as part of their name.
Murder hornets recently found their way over to the United States and, if we get right down to it, they’re not as terrifying as they look. Sure, they look like pure nightmare fuel — with some queens measuring in at more than two inches long — but the reality is that a single bite from a murder hornet isn’t going to kill you, though it will be incredibly painful. If you’re at all curious, a man who goes by Coyote Peterson got stung by a murder hornet on purpose and filmed the entire experience for our collective enjoyment or horror.
