This topic is very interesting, I've always been fascinated by nature, and the structures that insects make. Hell, it must take a hell of an architect to build something so perfect out of wood, dirt an leaves. Also, how did they die? Did the thing drop down, or did you cut it off? Why cut it off, I can see that they ay have been a hazard, but i just don't like the idea of it. I think of it as a giant stomping on my town or something. Oh well, at least you have good reason for it.

You should raise them and tame them to obey you every command...

The obvious answer:

Shit, thats like the wasp equivalent of the death star!

You missed a perfect chance to become the Pain from MGS3.

He creeped the shit out of me.

This wasn't here a week ago. In fact, I don't think it was even here a few days ago. Otherwise I probably would have been owned by this thing when I mowed the lawn. It was low-hanging, only about four feet above the grass.

It's a nest full of bald-faced hornets. My father was stung around 16 times by them while doing yard work about a week ago. We figured that they were underneath our front sidewalk since he saw them coming out of the ground. They probably moved to the tree nearby after we sprayed insecticide all over the place.

We sprayed the nest last night when all the bees should have been inside. I'll show you a handful of crazy-ass pictures. I'll tell you how many bodies I counted once I post all the images.

We begin with the nest as of yesterday shortly after its discovery. The wasps you see on it are alive and well, probably continuously making this monstrosity larger.

Your father was strung "16 times"? (ROFLMAO) That's fucking hilarious! You think a hornets nest 4 feet in diameter is impressive? I grew up in Florida, where the insects are larger and more aggressive than a rabid Greman Shepard on steroids. I've seen black paper wasps the size of my thumb with a stinger that would make your balls lodge in your fucking throat. Wasps and hornets don't build nests in Florida, they take over a structure and build a god damned city.

Yea I've seen those d in Florida...the spiders would make you shit bricks...they're not to be messed with

DEATH TO THE INSECTOIDS THEY HAVE NO PLACE ON OUR GLORIOUS PLANET

Except the dragonflies. I like them.

But I agree about croaking the wasps. Honeybees are the only good member of the "bee" family, because they pollinate the flowers. (the treehugger in me speaking now.)

And as for that wasp paper, that stuff is epic. I peeled some off a wasp's nest that had died a while back, and it was really spiffy.

Some of them have been cropped out.

you should've put the nest on fire. all you need is wd40 and a grill lighter and you have your wasp killer

Holy shit. I... I want to find a nest like that now. I wanna take it apart and stuff! I'd probably mash all the little flying asshole larva with a pair of needle nose pliers, but holy shit.

Lotta hornets.

HOLY CRAP!!! I wouldn't get near that thing for a thousand bucks.

Be grateful it wasn't these kind you had to kill... Then you could have needed a flamethrower for real...

Lol back where I live their nests are 30 cm in diameter and the largest ones are 50 cm.. And their inhabitants don't grove bigger than 5 cm. I looove to live in Europe!

I wouldn't have the balls to open that thing up.

I'd figure under the bodies of the first 100 the spray wouldn't get through and you would have the other 280 pissed off at you, and ready to murder.

Agreed. I'd have just sprayed it, poked a hole in it with a stick, and tossed it in my fireplace.

dude,.............anomals are cool, and i like seeing crazy natural stuff hapen, like that. but that freaks me out! not kiddind, i would torch that thind at first sight! :)

That full image you linked to will make a fine wallpaper!

"W.......why?"

You should've burned the bastards, but oh well. I guess you had your fun.

Yup those are yellow jackets,

BTW, in Arkansas, I saw these huge black monster wasps, over an inch long

Of course this thing from Japan

Damn. That is a pretty big bee. Is that for real?

Oh and next time I hope you get killer bees and show us some cool shots :/

omfg jk dont dieee

It's a Japanese Giant wasp, Which ironically can also be found in China

It kills and then eats the contents of honeybee hives, one wasp can destroy an entire hive.

They do a lot of havoc to the Chinese beekeepers

I've read that the sting is INCREDIBLY painful due to the amount of venom they can pump into you

There have been cases where a few dozen of these have killed an adult person.

If you are wondering, I didn't take the pictures myself.

Well duh, I doubt you live in China.

Yeah, its just to reassure the people who don't pick up on the subtle subtext
