The fact that these even exist is absolutely terrifying…

Giant. Asian. Hornets.

The ones pictured are technically queens, but the regular-sized ones don’t sound like any picnic, either, on account of how they’ve apparently been terrorizing the Chinese countryside over the last couple of months, killing 28 people after stinging them upwards of 200 times!

Reminds me of that episode of Futurama where they have to collect honey from the space bees that are bigger than they are, and the really touching story that was building up to a proper finale until they made those stupid DVD movies to bring the show back at 40% of the original comedy.

But look at that photo!!! These giant bees will haunt your dreams, as they will rightfully haunt mine, too…  😯
