OT: Murder Hornets!?

A little OT, but bees get a bad rap. People always talk about getting bee stings. Very few people have ever been stung by a bee. It's because a lot of people make the mistake of calling a yellow jacket a bee. It is not a bee. A yellow jacket is a wasp.

Nope. It was close by and seemed available for egress. I just checked and found an article that says to cover all holes. All I know is we just covered one and it worked. Unless the second hole was plugged underground. Seems unlikely but who knows.

Now that I'm in the south I have been battling these carpenter bees that are perforating my deck. I don't remember having these in CT.

I had carpenter bees on the Cape. Pain in the ass. Once a year I had my pest guy inject the holes with an insecticide. Eventually they went away
 
I live in Japan and I've run into these a few times during the summer, but never had any particularly close encounters. Hoping to keep it that way.

One of my main sources of entertainment on youthful Summer days was throwing rocks at hives. I got stung a lot less when I took up new hobbies.
 
These things are all the rage now. Apparently they are as delicious as they are deadly.

But now I wonder if the hornet was incapacitated in some way.

Other than having its head slowly eaten?
Oh. You meant beforehand?
Never Mind.

Oh man, the mantis got it in a full nelson and then went straight for the brain. After the head is completely gone the stinger is still twitching around looking for a target. Badass.
