  • Hey there!

  • Welcome to Life Noggin!

  • You guys told me about an insect that's sting can dissolve human tissue and I needed

  • to see if this thing was real.

  • Curiousness got the best of me!

  • It turns out it is real, and just as terrifying as you said.

  • We're talking about a highly venomous insect, and the world's largest hornet - the Asian

  • Giant Hornet, or Vespa mandarinia.

  • It can grow to 4.5 centimeters long with a 7.6 centimeter wingspan and a quarter-inch

  • stinger, and..and fly at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour.

  • So, good luck trying to outrun them.

  • They like to live in high altitude forested locations like the mountains and build their

  • nests underground or in hollowed out trees.

  • They're primarily found in Southeast Asia, including Korea, China, India, and most commonly,

  • Japan.

  • Every year in Japan, Asian Giant Hornets kill around 30 to 40 people.

  • In 2013, China experienced a particularly terrible year, resulting in the death of 42

  • people, with an additional 1,675 injured.

  • Asian Giant Hornets are unique among other wasps as they are the only social species

  • that wages group attacks on beehives.

  • They're carnivorous creatures and typically prey on honey bees for food.

  • Once a scout locates a honey bee hive, it releases pheromones to attract its friends

  • and together they wreak havoc on the hive, using their strong mandibles, or jaws, to

  • severe the heads of the bees.

  • We should've did this video around Halloween.

  • This is frighting.

  • Not that you would try, but you really don't want to upset these guys.

  • Asian Giant Hornets are considered to be very aggressive and are quick to sting.

  • While the venom they release when they sting isn't any worse from the venom of other

  • hornets and wasps, they release more of it.

  • And speaking of more venom, because of their swarming behavior and ability to sting repeatedly,

  • victims of their attacks usually sustain multiple stings.

  • Their venom contains chemicals like mandaratoxin, a neurotoxin that harms nerve tissues, in

  • addition to other chemicals that cause allergic reactions.

  • Their stings are painful, itchy, and cause swelling.

  • And in some cases, they can be deadly.

  • In fact, according to a case report from 2010, two victims were killed from multiple stings

  • by the Asian Giant Hornet.

  • One developed acute encephalopathy, which effects brain function, while the other developed

  • acute myocarditis, which is the inflammation of the heart muscle.

  • In addition to potentially causing a severe allergic reaction in certain individuals,

  • large doses of their venom can result in cardiac arrest or organ failure.

  • One study found that most fatal organ failure cases were associated with skin hemorrhage,

  • which is bleeding, or necrosis, which is cell death.

  • Those patients were stung an average of 59 times, which was significantly greater than

  • the amount of stings endured by patients who survived, suggesting that number of stings

  • may play a role in determining your outcome.

  • Oh no.

  • They're going for Triangle Bob.

  • Oh boy.

  • Okay, uh, hey Animator, can you hit reset again on Triangle Bob.

  • Thanks!

  • So what animal or insect are you most afraid of?

  • Let me know in the comment section below or tell us, what should we talk about next?

  • Curious to know what would happen if all the bugs on earth died?

  • Check out this video!

  • Losing out on inscets would also likely have an widespread domino effect, making it harder

  • for other animals to survive.

  • Which would then make it harder for us to survive.

  • As always, my name is Blocko, this has been Life Noggin, don't forget to keep on thinking!

Hey there!
