Vespa mandarinia
SPECIES OVERVIEW
A highly feared and despised insect, the asian murder hornet is a well rounded and capable flying destruction machine. Some of the smallest hornet workers are even bigger than the queens of some other species.

Hornets are the true owners of the skies and are highly accomplished predators. A hornet hive will often totally decimate bee hives, and other insects in the area. While these raids take place he workers defend their hive with their potent stingers.
​
Their enormous mandibles can tear through even the hardest carapace and if that fails their venom is so strong that death is almost always assured.
