hornets

Recently it was announced that the Asian giant hornet, otherwise known as the "murder hornet" had been spotted in North America for the first time earlier this month. While many of us have been downright panicking over it, others have been doing their research, like this woman, who decided to draft up a Facebook post of the misconceptions about our new little yellow friend. We hope it puts your mind a little more at ease!

Is anyone even phased by anything anymore? At this point, news could break that an asteroid is barreling toward planet earth and literally no one would bat an eye. It seems that May's little "surprise" for us is the Asian giant hornet, or as it's more commonly being referred to, the "murder hornet" that was spotted in North America for the first time just a few months ago. Luckily these guys typically aren't aggressive toward humans, but they are known to decapitate honey bees with their horrifyingly large claws. On the bright side, perhaps this will encourage people to stay inside so we can tackle the pandemic going on? Thanks 2020!

That's a solid "nope" if we ever saw one. 

2020 isn't messing around is it? People around the world want to know who the heck is playing Jumanji and can they please finish it up -- quickly! And honestly, we're right there with them. 

It has been reported that "Murder Hornets" have been spotted in the United States. What are "murder hornets" you might ask? Asian giant hornets is an invasive hornet species that slaughters honeybees and can be deadly to humans. 

And while the danger to an average person is low on the level og concern, officials are concerned about the local honeybee population. 

Twitter user, @PhillyD, expressed in a tweet how we are all feeling about these "murder hornets."
