Fun fact: wasps, bees, beetles, flies, all fly using static electricity from their wings repelling their dielectric chitin bodies through the air. Thats why often times it looks like their tiny wings in comparison to their huge bodies shouldnt be able to displace enough air to actually fly. And why June bugs are so ungraceful in flight. You ever rub a balloon on your head and notice how your hair stands straight up, thats because your hair is made of keratin, which is very chemically similar to chitin, and has the same repulsion effect when exposed to static electricity.

Why does everyone want these hornets to go extinct? They dont even want to bother or kill anyone. Their just like any other wasp. They sting for two purposes
1. Hunting
2. Defending
Just because they kill people, that doesnt mean they want to do it. They kill people because they are being hunted by people for food. Im not say we should love them, Im saying we should respect them. If anyone sees one in Asia, just leave it alone. If you dont bother it then it wont bother you.

If these hornets establish themselves in North America the results would be catastrophic for agriculture as honey bees pollinate much of the fruits and vegetables we eat. We have enough invasive species as it is. These hornets would pose a threat to other animals and humans as well. The narrator said up to 70 people in Japan die each year from encounters with them.

Did they deliberately flood the nest to get that shot? I can hardly imagine the camera crew would be filming on the bank of a river thats raging like that, unless theyve edited in footage of another river
