Let me start by saying...GAHHHHHHH!!!! but I guess I can view this as some sort of demented therapy towards bugs. This one does not fall under the creepy category...more the HOLY SHIT!! category.
The Asian, or Japanese hornet is the largest and most fearsome hornet in the world. It can be as big as 3.5 inches long, and its stinger is over 6 mm in length (a quarter of an inch!).
The venom from this hornet contains an enzyme which will dissolve bone and tissue, and can be fatal if the person stung is small, or has an allergic reaction. More than 40 people are killed each year by stings from this hornet. Those who have been stung and lived have described its sting as excrutiatingly painful.
