First plague, then a pestilence.

[shortylickens]

Murder hornets are killing off bees and invading our nightmares

What's up to 2 inches long and likes to decapitate bees? Say hello to the Asian giant hornet, now spotted in North America.

Remind me what comes next?
And also how is this all Obamas fault?

You seem confused. The pestilence is already hitting Africa and Asia.

And it just keeps going.

Parts of the Middle East, East Africa and South Asia has been facing their worst locust swarms for 25 years

The pestilence was here in 2016 and is still here till at least 2020.

I dont understand why they dont harvest the locust and eat that?

That is a magnificent bastard! I would love to see one of those buzzing around. They are pretty lethal to local bee populations though.

Locust doesn't taste that great imo. Then again it's better than starvation in a famine!

 

[soundforbjt]

The hornets are easily recognizable by their bright yellow-orange colored face.

I think I found their Queen...

You're off your chump.

You're off your chump.

Imagine the noise of that thing flying around!

 

[nakedfrog]

Imagine the noise of that thing flying around!

I'd very much rather not, thanks!

 

[WelshBloke]

I'd very much rather not, thanks!

You'd be sitting there enjoying a cold beer in the garden. Then you'd hear a faint buzzing that built up to an intimidating crescendo. Then youd see those magnificent big bastards fly over your hedge and you'd hear the faint sound of Wagner's Flight of the Valkyries playing!

Damn,

It’s month #5 of the year,
And murderous hornets are here,
Beheading their prey
And growing in sway.
Their motives, as yet, are unclear.

Killed the first nest they found.
Tied a tracker onto a few of them with dental floss and tracked them
to their nest. Read about that a few days back.

I witnessed one here ( near Albany NY) on the ground in our yard. I moved closer to kill it but it rose up, so I thought to get a bucket to capture it but it was gone when I got back. My son also saw it in the same general area. This happened early to mid summer, and I'm 100% sure. Haven't seen it since.
