Quokka,
Thanks for the upload. Hilarious! Nothing like watching a severe extrovert get a dose of some pain that they brought upon themselves! Oh, the price of fame! ....Some real nice close-ups of the hornet, though.
Personally, I'm content just to watch the insects around me, most of the time merely going about their daily business and not bothering anyone else (--which is to say, humans,... not other insects). I see no need to harass them and incite them to fight back. That being said, I sure hope that efforts to eliminate the "Murder Hornet" (--attention-grabbing news media nickname--) from the Pacific Northwest are successful. Thankfully, my wife and I moved from southern California before the "Killer Bees" (i.e., Africanized Apis mellifera) got well-established there.
Reinettes.
