14. Asian Giant Hornets
Known as the largest hornet in the world, these insects can be found mostly in Eastern Asia. Even though there exists a threat to their survival in the wild, this doesn’t take away from the fact that these hornets are both aggressive and capable of killing a human being. The hornets can grow up to two inches in length, accompanied by a wingspan of three inches. Compared to other hornets, that is a very large insect. Sometimes referred to as the Giant Sparrow Bee, the Asian Giant Hornet is considered to be predatory. They are mixed with colors of yellow, brown and orange all along their bodies, and possess a 0.25 inch long stinger (used to inject venom). If stung, the hornet is considered venomous, especially for children and the elderly. The hornet also poses a threat for young adults as well, but only for those who tend to be allergic to stinging insects. The venom in their sting destroys red blood cells, which often leads to terrible physical effects and sometimes death.
