Asian Giant Hornet to migrate to the UK

[Aurora Novus]

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

Can we just burn these things? Fuck, I hate flying insects man, and especially hornets. This is terrifying to me. Seriously, what good are these things? All they do is go around and murder hives of honeybees, and sting the shit out of people. Gas 'em all I say.

[The Matthew Islands]

Well, time to launch the nukes.

I'm pretty sure there's more than just the the english channel to cross to get from east asia to Britain.

Asia, Europe - its all foreign.

According to the sound thing in the link, they were introduced by accident into France in 2004, and like the recent hot weather.

I'm sorry, Europe, but for the safety of those regions of the world not already infested, we're going to have to nuke you. You have 48 hours to evacuate. Russia, China and the United States have all agreed to employ their full nuclear arsenals in a carpet nuking operation which will sterilize Europe between Lisbon and Warsaw.

They weren't.

Vespa Velutina - pictured here - was. But its habit of killing bees is limited to hunting them down in the air, it doesn't invade and annihilate hives.

Vespa Mandarinia - pictured here -, which is what we call the Asian Giant Hornet, remains limited to Asia.

tl;dr: The BBC engages in Daily Mail style journalism

It still targets the common honey bee which isn't particularly good news. It's just not as bad as the Asian Giant Hornet or the even larger subspecies from Japan.

[Conscentia]

warms of vicious Asian hornets may soon be heading across the Channel to attack the UK's bee colonies.

We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our bees, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.

Nuke France.

Nuke France.

It's also invaded Spain and South Korea although South Korea isn't particularly far out of it's native range and might be explained by climate change.

Nuke them too.

To be multicultural, you need culture.

Hm....oh and they are fucking useless. we need to gas them now, we need to panic, everyone panic already they are heading to the UK, and my country is next, and you bet your ass they will head to Canada after that!

We're doomed, doomed I say, ddooooooooooooooooommmmeeed!

[Eaglleia]

I'll just leave this here.

[Wind in the Willows]

Time to buy more bug spray. *sigh*

[Rupudska]

I should probably be concerned about this, in case they decide to hop a flight across the Atlantic.

But they'd probably be slaughtered by our Africanized bees and fire ants.

America.

The US also has had sightings of hornets exceeding 4cm in length. Cicada killer wasps are what they are called so the Japanese Hornet and it's smaller Asian counterpart already have their niche filled with one that kills both bees and cicadas.

Solitary, parasitoid wasps. Not even remotely in the same ecological niche.

Also, not even remotely 'Hornets'.

And then we have rumors of "Japanese hornets" in the US although it's unknown if it's just overgrown V. crabro that have exceeded the usual size or the giant hornet of Japan.

[The Grey Wolf]

This is what happens when you fuck with the Irish.

[Azaflaza]

Yeah, the title should probably say the british isles.

I don't think these hornets will just stick to UK territory.

[Nationalist State of Knox]

Tighten immigration restrictions. *nods*
