Asian Giant Hornet Part 3
There are other wasp species that look like the Asian giant hornet, including the bald faced hornet and cicada killers but it is the world’s largest vespid (large, diverse, cosmopolitan family of wasps) wasp. The hornet has a body length of 5 cm, a wingspan around 75 mm, and a stinger 6 mm long, which injects a large amount of potent venom. The venom contains a cytolytic peptide that damages tissue by stimulating phospholipase action, and a neurotoxin called mandaratoxin. Asian giant hornet conduct raids on colonies of honey bees, resulting in the complete destruction of the colony. They attack the colonies in large attack formations, decapitating the bees which they feed to their larvae.
