Great another thing for media to blow out of proportion and ruin everyone’s day.
Note the sarcasm. Not to say that things like the virus aren’t terrible, but news sources tend to make things worst then the really are

If it helps, there was only one specimen found dead. Unless a queen comes over, we’re safe! This guy, Coyote Peterson, knows his bugs. Here’s a short vid he made on it! :>

I know little of what these “murder hornets” are, but as a Australian I say toughen up buttercup

I’m actually not super concerned about it, it’s just funny to joke around with because everybody over here is freaking out over it lol

You are right, of course. Mother nature in the lovely state of Washington, the Pacific NW of the U.S. is usually rather mild in nature. Especially west of the Cascades.
...
There is one thing though, that stands in the background. Not too far from my backyard. Something that could represent the greatest natural disaster in recorded history...

Oh, so that’s what they are. Pretty sure I saw some in during a trip to Japan I took late last year with a friend. They called them great sparrow bees there
that mountain... I wish to climb it and camp on its peak

I've traipsed around on it before a few times. Never been close to the peak though. That's quite a hike for lil ol' me!

15 miles up harsh, mountainous terrain? Pssssh easy peasy. I could do that... just give 2-3 days and a helicopter to airlift me out when I reach the summit (aren’t no way I’d walk that far twice), or for when I sprain my ankle 2 hours into the climb

They're Japanese Giant Hornets, so they're basically like Australian wildlife but from Japan, they're about 10x the size of a bee, and are super aggressive and hunt down honey bee hives to invade and eat. They also can't be removed from the ecosystem outside of burning them out.

Had a look at footage of them, pretty sure I saw them when I was in Japan (Kyoto specifically) last year. I was told their called great sparrow bees. Had no idea they were actually dangerous... probably would’ve avoiding getting as close to them as I did had I known

They're not deadly unless you're allergic, but getting stung by them has been likened to being hit by a truck, and that pain can last for a week.
