Massive ‘Asian murder hornet’ kills mouse in just SECONDS after experts warns of danger to humans

- THIS is the moment a giant killer 'Asian murder hornet' brutally attacks a helpless mouse as it writhes on the floor in pain.
The nightmarish creatures can grow up to two inches in length, have a sting described as feeling like a "hot metal spike" and have even been known to kill humans.
In the horrifying clip a little mouse can be seen twitching and spasming in agony as the giant hornet latches onto its body.
The huge creature is almost as large as the mouse.
It takes just seconds before the mouse stops fighting, and dies.
Throughout the toe-curling tussle, the hornet can be heard buzzing angrily.
Up until now, the creatures were exclusively found in Asia but have since been spotted over in the States.
It's the first time the creatures have ever been seen overseas - with the horrifying clip doing the rounds amid fears they pose a serious threat - not only to wildlife, like bees, but humans too.
According to the New York Times, the deadly hornets have been spotted in Washington, the country's capital.
KILLER CREATURES
Given the chance, they'll wipe out an entire bee colony within hours, reports say.
The murderous hornets work by decapitating the bees and feeding on their young.
Shared by TMZ, it's not clear when or where the horrifying footage was filmed.
The hornets are a sub-species of the Japanese giant hornet, and have a stinger of around 6mm - although have been known to have stingers almost double that - closer to a centimetre in length.
They inject a deadly venom with each sting that "melts flesh".
It is described as feeling like a "hot metal spike."
The Times also warns that up to 50 people who get stung by the creatures a year die - but it's worth bearing in mind the annual average for normal bee, wasp and hornet stings is around 62 deaths per year in America.
Speaking to Straits Times, one expert said: "The venom itself is fairly toxic and creates localised necrosis around the wound, so you'll see melting flesh around the wound."
Mr Sven-Erik Spichiger, managing entomologist at the Washington state Agriculture Department also warned due to their size, it's easy for the creatures to inhect multiple large doses of venom.
He added: "What we are told from the literature is that most people can survive one or two stings.
"But if you sustain multiple stings, the necrosis and the venom will actually start getting into your bloodstream and will start working on your organs. And multiple stings could literally be fatal."

This must be extremely painful since the mice are so small and this hornet the size of a small dog to it
What type of dog is that small
@@KnJRoblox what I meant was, relatively to the mouse, this hornet is the size of a small dog
A Chihuahua
@@KnJRoblox comprehension my dude
@@Isa-sb9jn makes sense thx for clarifying
@@KnJRobloxit’s like when a Giant Hornet as big like a chihuahua attacks YOU or any human , that’s how this mouse experienced it when it comes to size. Can you imagine how that would be if a hornet the size of a small dog attacks you ? Literally this mouse suffered
Not an Asian Hornet, this is a European Hornet.
thats a european hornet, not a asian giant hornet.
Cats be mad
Tom is going to be lonely without Jerry around amymore
Imagine dieing from getting tweaked on
Remember hornets got vicegrips of a chomper they can break wood pieces
the quality is bad but im almost certian this is a european hornet and not a murder hornet
This some real life pokemon battle right here 😂
and now that is giant hornet
wtf am i watching
ExplodingTNT: *cries*
It was getting stung in the face a few times
thats a european hornet
It's an Asian Giant Hornet.
@@Michael-jw6etasian hornets are a bit darker than this one on video
@@KrisCrossssssalso a little bigger too
@@Michael-jw6et nope. its still a european hornet, and look like a queen
European Hornet Vespa Crabo
@@NotHappeningNo-dx5pt They have yellow heads, not red. Look again
Poor mouse
Poor hornet
You gotta explain that one 🤣😅
@@novacore4597ain’t no poor hornet
@novacore4597 bruh
Why would it attack a mouse like that? Surely it's not a viable source of food.
They need protein for their brood. Not for themselves though
That poor mouse is so swollen. This is awful.
its ok every life is a life its how life goes
@@krivbex7748It's not okay and it's not how it goes. Mice usually don't get stung to death by a hornet.
Who gives a fuk about filthy disgusting rodents lol
@@Michael-jw6etnobody gives a crap about slimy disgusting rodents snowflake
@@Michael-jw6ethow is this not ok?? I'd kill mice in the most painful ways if I found any. They're an invasive destructive rodent why do you feel sorry for these horrible creatures
Oh Shit
oh shit does not even begin to cover it, my friend. we are fucked!
Caught that snitch on La yarde & put on work! It's GP ova here! 🐝☠️🐀
Plus a wasp doesn't sting on mouse?!
It does
How the mouse died the hornet did not even sting him?
The jaws of a giant hornet can not bite through the skin of a mouse thats why there is no blood
Maybe mouse was already hurt by something or someone else and the mouse-wasp encounter happened on purpose
How do you know it didn’t sting?
@@TSJ99 I don't "know" it, since i was not there when the video was made
I think it because 1. There's no blood and 2. A healthy mouse would run away and escape once it notice it cannot win the fight against an insect in this particular case
In this video the mouse looks like it was already hurt, either by someone or something else, or maybe weakened by disease which prevented the mouse from escaping before
realising it could not win the fight. That's my perspective based on this video, since it's very rare for insects to kill mice. But, i could be wrong of course in this particular rare case
@@S4H47it definitely did sting the rat. You don’t see blood because stingers aren’t huge like knives. They’re sharp and thin like needles. It’s why when you see people get stung by bees they’re usually not bleeding. The sting sites tend to swell up due to venom injections during the sting. The mice likely couldn’t move because of the blinding amount of pain it was in getting stung repeatedly. Since the rodent is small it doesn’t take a lot of time for all that venom to spread throughout its tiny body. Wasps become more aggressive as they are approaching death attacking anything it sees with no real good reason other than pure aggression.
@@sokefunful Not trying to advertise some people, but for example, you should watch some video's of a guy on YT named DesertWolfArmory.
It's basically feding alive mouse to all kind of venomous snakes. Many mouse (not all) survive the most snake bites and their venom for at least 3 minutes.
And even after getting bit by the venomous snakes, they are physically able to try to escape the enviroment for minutes before finally 'passing away'.
You're saying this wasp (or it's venom) is so strong the mouse is physically not able to fight-or-flight it, while they are (most of the times) able to do so against snakes ?
I know snakes do sometimes "dry bite" (which is when they bite without injecting venom), but you can see at the mouse their body reactions if it was a dry bite or not.
@@S4H47 hmmm if that’s the case then I guess I was wrong. Perhaps it was injured like you said.
Rat will avenge
i hate hornets i just wanted to at least see that mouse bight the hornet but its not fair nothing is fair life is cruel but its just nature and you have to deal with it.
Nice
Vespa carbro European hornet
Why did it killed that mouse? I am sure he can't eat the mouse, it just killed him for fun?
Probably ventured too close to the nest? Might have thought the nest's larvae to be a good food source until it was attacked.
Why didn't they help the poor mouse??
You wanna help a pest
Sure attack a giant wasp to save a wild mouse. Come on dude have some survival instinct lol.
Why and how would they help
Because its a pest
Just let nature do it's damn thing
it didnt even kill to eat :(
It doesn't eat mic
Hornets are just very aggressive
@@Isa-sb9jn that's not true.
it is a European hornet queen. She attacked the mouse to feed it to its larvae
