One of the most dangerous insects that can kill you( u must know them)( part 1): Big asian hornet

in #animals7 years ago

The Asian giant hornet colloquially known as the yak-killer hornet is the world's largest hornet.

They prefer to live in low mountains and forests, while almost completely avoiding plains and high-altitude climates.

These hornets are found throughout East and Southeast Asia, in countries such as in China, Korea, Japan, India and Nepal.
And they're big. The giant hornet extends about 3.5 to 3.9 centimeters in length (1.4 to 1.5 inches), roughly the size of a human thumb, and it has black tooth used for burrowing

Hornets have killed dozens of people in China and injured more than 1,500 with their powerful venomous sting.

it carries a venom that destroys red blood cells, which can result in kidney failure and death.

Over the summer and early fall, hornets have invaded schools full of children and descended upon unsuspecting farm workers in China.

How to protect yourself ???


If you see a nest or a hive, just avoid it, don't get in danger by reacting poorly to these large hornets.
Just calmly walk away when u see one of them.' the more you run, the more they want to chase you'.
