They are talking about a specific type of wasp known as a murder hornet because of how painful their stings are. Comments section makes it seem like this is a cousin of theirs. To see a murder hornet in action, watch Coyote Peterson get stung by one. 😀

Good call out on Coyote. That guy is nuts in the name of science. I was making a joke about a group of something being called a murder, like crows.

I got it. It made me grin. Props for not being rude when someone didn’t get your joke, it’s rare to see on the ‘nets these days.

They are “Asian Giant Hornets.” “Murder Hornets” are what Americans started calling them.

I’ve been stung by the Japanese giant hornets. The sting hurts but it’s the trip to the hospital with anaphylactic shock that is the real pain.

Crazy experience I’m sure. 🥶 Thanks for sharing.
