Default Giant hornets in China, kill 42 people!

Man, I have never seen a hornet this huge!! These monsters have killed 42 people in China so far, with hundreds in the hospital getting treated after being stung by them. Wait till you open this page and see how big they are!

Did Godzilla find his roots in the same place these giant hornets are found?

All kidding aside, those are huge and nasty.

Shouldn't be long before somebody will use them as a food source for something.

Anyone who has played the original Shadow Warrior knows there's only one solution
to big killer bees and that's an Uzi, preferably one in each hand.

In England they would batter them and fry them ...

In Thailand they would dip them in chocolate ...

In South America they would bite the heads off and giggle at the same time
