The Japanese giant hornet is the largest of all types of hornets.

The effect of a bite is compared to hammering a red-hot nail, after which the action of toxins begins, which causes swelling, fever, and even tissue necrosis. As a bonus, you can get not one, but several stings, since the hornet is able to sting repeatedly. On average, these guys kill about 40 people a year - more than any other wild animal in Japan.
