When we already have more than enough to deal with, the last thing we need is another wave of scary-sounding news to make us even more anxious. However, that seemed to be the most common reaction when it came out that Asian giant hornets had been sighted in the Pacific Northwest.
Of course, that fact that they've earned the nickname "murder hornets" doesn't help all that much.
And the name doesn't come from nowhere, as it is possible for the hornets to result in human deaths due to multiple stings. However, it's also considered rather unlikely for them to feel inclined to sting that much unless someone approaches their hives.
Nonetheless, tensions regarding the insect are understandably high, which is likely why so many throughout social media are finding it so satisfying to see one fall to a praying mantis in the full video.
Be advised that the footage at the end of this article is graphic.
