A roughly 2-inch long insect known as the "murder hornet" has made its way to the U.S. for the first time ever, researchers said. The Asian giant hornet, Vespa mandarinia, has been known to kill up to 50 people a year in Japan, according to The New York Times, and has the potential to devastate U.S. bee populations, which have already been declining. 

Susan Cobey, bee breeder with Washington State University's Department of Entomology, told WSU Insider that the hornets are "like something out of a monster cartoon with this huge yellow-orange face."

The hornets are usually between 1.5 to 2 inches long, have large yellow-orange heads with prominent eyes, and a black and yellow striped abdomen.

I'd have a snarky response, but I'm not yet caught up on the COVID-19 thread a-hole discussion in the political forum.

Maybe the murder hornets will eliminate the killer bees that were imported from Africa in the 70’s

And the manslaughter ants that came here from Peru during the 84 Olympics.
