Asian Giant Hornet: I am death destroyer of worlds.
Me: Weeping uncontrollably
Jesus that's almost going from swatting to a fist fight
They're big for sure, but there's some forced perspective in that photo. They're typically substantially smaller than your little finger.
Yeah it is a majorly warped perspective, look at the size of the thumb.
Still they are big girls, here's a photo and wiki says...
The hornet has a body length of 45 mm (1+3⁄4 in), a wingspan around 75 mm (3 in), and a stinger 6 mm (1⁄4 in) long, which injects a large amount of potent venom.

TWO INCHES IS BIG ENOUGH FOR THE HIGH YIELD EXPLOSIVES
That person would totally win in a thumb war. Don’t even try
Ugh, i saw one of those fuckers buzzing about in south of England. Sounded like a mini military helicopter buzzing about looking for bees to fuck up.
Reported it
The Neighbourhood Watch will get it sorted!
(I kid -- for the unaware reader, they're invasive, they threaten native bees, and you can report sightings to the government).
They look like they threaten native everything.
Is the neighborhood watch where I report thieving kids and crusty jugglers?
I had to google it because having those guys here would be super scary. But it seems like like Asian Hornets are invasive in Europe, which are already big. The picture shows an Asian Giant Hornet, which are even bigger.
