I remember seeing a piece on Ripleys believe it or not with Jack Palance about the Japanese giant hornet and how vicious they were with their repeat action stingers unlike bees, ever since I've been shit scared of any flying stinging insects.
which brings me to is I thought this was a Japanese problem, they have few deaths annually from these, this and that weird place which is infected with deadly snakes that people leave sticks everywhere in the streets to whack then where ever they see them.
I had a nest of those bastards on my patio when I lived there. I didn't know what to do, so I asked my neigbour (a middle aged lady). She walked over, hit it with a spray of RAID and then knocked it off and squashed it. Meanwhile, myself and several other big gaijin stood there scared and not knowing what to do!
