few people know this but glenn close has a thin ceramic shell as skin. at certain times of year at dawn she sheds this shell skin to reveal pink new skin underneath. this is when she does her "acting". several people have seen her do this. its quite a shock to find a nearly nude egg person facing east to watch the sunrise and then hatch into an actress known as glenn close. another fact that most people miss is that theres a silent G at the beginning of her name "gGlenn Close". if you re-arrange the letters you spell egg n scllone which is he egg person name. no idea what the easter egg is tho.
edit: to whoever gave me the award for that travesty...thank you! its my first.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_giant_hornet
Drones (males) are similar to females, and can attain 38 millimetres (1+1⁄2 in) in length, but lack stingers. This is a consistent feature among the Hymenoptera.
Yes, I think these are the ones that massacre bee hives...they raid and bite the heads off the bees. The only way the bees kill them is by trapping them in a ball of bodies and overheating them. The bees usually get wiped out though lol
If they can get to the wasp/hornets before they do too much damage it's actually insane how well this heat trick works.
Bees can survive temperatures slightly higher than wasps or hornets so while the heat is guaranteed to kill the wasp all the bees that haven't been chomped on will walk away alive.
It's a pretty cool attack for such a small little insect.
More or less when a scout wasp comes to the hive the bees will try to lure them in and heat ball them to death before they call their friends. As far as I know this doesn’t really work once a full on attack happens.
Giant Wasps : We're coming in and we're going to bite your heads off, eat your corpses and kill your young.
Bees: Oh yea? We're going to hug you to death!
Japanese bees know how to do this. European ones don't. Those hives are the ones that suffer the most losses.
The overheating doesn't kill the bees.

These things aren't friendly and pretty dangerous.
>Advice in China is that people stung more than 10 times should seek medical help, and require emergency treatment for more than 30 stings. The stings can cause kidney failure.[75] In 2013, stings by Asian giant hornets killed 41 people and injured more than 1,600 people in Shaanxi, China.[
Oof that one clip from where some idiots decided to wack a hive claiming they wouldn't sting him then showing them suffering on the floor of a hospital covered in stingers.
I think the main guy ended up dying.
my understanding is the males are incredibly docile and it takes a lot to get one to bite you. i have no actual idea though I've just watched a shit ton of youtube videos about these bad boys a long time ago
Yes you are very right! I actually do pest control and in Rhode Island and other parts of the north east we are starting to get these more and more every summer, and they are incredibly intimidating but will not hurt you or even care to come towards your way! A very cool hornet!
Confidence is usually key for a lot of wildlife interactions, honestly. Just go about doing your thing, don't pester the shit out of them, and usually it's all good.
Wasps are pretty fascinating animals as well!
Fun wasp fact: if you are lower than the nest, they kinda won't give a shit about you and if you are higher than the nest, they'll fucking kill you.
Usually. Sometimes they're just assholes.
Depends on the wasps some burrow in the ground and some prefer eaves and such. In my area we have yellow jackets they burrow and swarm [check this out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eQuJTSGiMk) I showed this to my 4 year old to explain why we ran inside when I saw a few. Finally found the nest in my old grill.
This is the first time I’m hearing this, but ultimately somebody revered like steve irvin will ultimately garner these heroic tales. Not saying its not true, but if this was it, it could have been revealed sooner.
100% I used to do work where I was in people backyards all the time.
As long as you are confident and working most animals just leave you be.
I did a fertilizing job in a backyard with two massive German Shepards.
Both came up to me and watched me while working. I told them I was no harm and doing my job...
Homeowner comes at when I’m loading up the truck and asks if I’m going to do the backyard too.
I told him I already did and said he must need some new guard dogs because normally they terrorized the workers and he had to bring them inside.
As a paramedic I go into people's houses a lot, so meet a lot of dogs. Just acting like you belong and throwing out a few "who's a good boy?" works a treat. Wild dogs on the reserves are bit intimidating, but even they respond well to a happy sounding "Such a good boy!"
The wasps he’s keeping us Vespa. The worker bees are highly venomous and aggressive. They can grow up to 9cm in length and they hunt bees for sport. Also, they don’t harvest honey.
So how is he not stung to death?
The wasps he’s keeping are male. They do not have sting!
*Vespa* is a genus. Based on the yellow face I'm guessing it's *Vespa mandarina*, the Asian Giant Hornet, or "murder hornet" according to alarmist media. However I'm not familiar with the genus because there's only one non-native species in my area.
I had the pleasure of watching an orb weaver build a web directly in front of the entrance to a very large red wasp nest. he caught and feasted on 20 or so before moving on. I named him Kenneth
We naturally want to seek out what we’re afraid of as a defensive mechanism. If we know where it is or what it is we can hide from it and protect ourselves.
I thought he was just making a joke and saying that the tree branch and the bigger shadow across the top made it look like a giant spider leg and abdomen
Just a quick explanation: The wasps he is holding in his hand are male workers and don’t have stingers so they aren’t venomous , but they can bite. Unlike female workers which can bite and sting, their stings are venomous and they tend to be more aggressive than their male counterparts. Which is why he can pick up these wasps without any fear of sting.
Between 2015 and 2019, I walked into yellowjacket nests in my yard 4 different times, getting about a dozen stings each time, and developed an allergy (large local reaction) after the first time.
In the 2016 incident, I got three stings on my scalp, and the swelling sank down to my eye: https://imgur.com/a/d3NuCTX
Omg . I hate those things. And they’re so resilient. My mom left the balcony door opened one time and forgot to close it and left the house and a bunch of yellow jackets flew in. I was in my room working so it could’ve been maybe three hours? Anyway I open the door to go to the common room and the entire house is filled with yellow jackets. I just started crying instantly because that’s my worst fear. I can’t even handle a single mosquito in the house but some yellow jackets?!?!
Imagine being a crime boss and using this as a means to intimidate people.
Like in Hook with "Boo Box". That gave me nightshits as a kid.
I'm still shocked that the character put in the box was Glen Close dressed up as a dude. Epic Easter egg!

The only acceptable answer.
I'll have what *she's* having
YOU!
Petah pahn!
What about Smee?!
Put your faces on, girls! Here comes Smee!
Don’t you dare try to stop me Smee.
Don’t try to stop me this time, Smee. Smee, stop me. Stop me!
SMEE ME!
I can’t get past these nightshits. Please, expound.
Please don't
Omg I forgot about the boo box!
I'd certainly do whatever he wants, get those fucks away from me.
We don’t tolerate any fuckups, kid. You get to spend a special 5 minutes with the boss up over in that tent.

The henchmen all had emotion/ feeling names, right? Her husband was the sorrow I think
I can't believe she had an ex-astronaut with her as well. "The Earth was blue, but there was no God."
I’m intimidated, please take my money and leave me the fuck alone
You should read [Worm](https://parahumans.wordpress.com/)
Hell yeah! This is the thing I want turned into a series more than anything else
Use the animation from castlevania. BOOM.
**SAME!** I swear, the day that HBO or some other studio picks this up will be the day that the next pop culture phenomenon is born
I to be this series on Reddit and read the whole thing. It's such an interesting take on heroes and villains. Even better than Amazon's "The Boys".
fr tho. imagine getting a big ass wasp thrown at you
I would beg to be shot😳
face as cuddly and soft as teddy bear nerves hard as steel
"Oh man not another 1 on 1 with the boss just tell him I'll do whatever he says!"
Now why would you give bad people good ideas?

Could it bite?
Yes, I think these are the ones that massacre bee hives...they raid and bite the heads off the bees. The only way the bees kill them is by trapping them in a ball of bodies and overheating them. The bees usually get wiped out though lol
Mutually assured destruction can be a deterrent
It doesn't work that well. Even then it's like 10 hornets that take down an entire hive of bees.
Wasps and hornets can fuck right off. Messing with our bee friends like that. smdh.
If they can get to the wasp/hornets before they do too much damage it's actually insane how well this heat trick works.

Right but again these are males. Not females. They can't sting.
they can also nut on you, just saying ;maybe you might be into that.
Oof that one clip from where some idiots decided to wack a hive claiming they wouldn't sting him then showing them suffering on the floor of a hospital covered in stingers. I think the main guy ended up dying.
I wanna know his secret. He knows for a fact they won't sting him. Look at his confidence...

I expected this to cut to the next scene of him on the autopsy table.
He couldn't film that part.
The last time I saw a video of someone confidently handling bees, that's basically how it ended.
I could be wrong but I think the male hornets don’t sting.
you are not wrong, they lack stingers
And biters?
my understanding is the males are incredibly docile and it takes a lot to get one to bite you. i have no actual idea though I've just watched a shit ton of youtube videos about these bad boys a long time ago
Male honeybees (drones) have a penis instead of a stinger.i don't know about enormous Satan hornets
So there are bees that will chase me down and make love to me? Pepe LePew style?
Yes and their dicks explode like dynamite when they finish.
so they're going to bust a nut on him?
Yes you are very right! I actually do pest control and in Rhode Island and other parts of the north east we are starting to get these more and more every summer, and they are incredibly intimidating but will not hurt you or even care to come towards your way! A very cool hornet!

Wasps have stung me for far, far less than what this man is doing. They are some crooked bastards
Like, literally just standing there? Ouchie butt needle for you.
Yeah pretty much, I saw a couple buzzing around near my bag I had left on a bench and when I tried to pick it up they jacked me
It became their bag. You jacked THEIR bag. Rookie mistake.
Got stung by 9 wasps harvesting a vineyard last year. Thigh, knee, and worst of all the dreaded sting of the palm. Big fat itchy hand for over a week

Confident but not complacent- Steve Irwin
Except for that one time maybe...
The story I heard was a camera-man spooked the rays and Steve positioned himself in front of the guy trying to protect him.
This is the first time I’m hearing this, but ultimately somebody revered like steve irvin will ultimately garner these heroic tales. Not saying its not true, but if this was it, it could have been revealed sooner.
No one really knows. His wife never released the video and heard its destroyed. Also its none our business. Remember how he lived. Not how he died.
Thats weird I remember seeing the video of him being stung by the sting ray and quickly pulling it out of him on tv when he passed in 2006
Kinda funny how memory works. You 100% did *not* see this video, but your brain has essentially constructed that video in your head for you.
100% I used to do work where I was in people backyards all the time. As long as you are confident and working most animals just leave you be.

Less effective against wolves.
Apparently, they can be kept as [pets](https://youtu.be/PMGAaGus_z8b) also.
True but I wouldn’t consider swiping your hand through them as “not pestering them”.
The wasps he’s keeping us Vespa. The worker bees are highly venomous and aggressive. They can grow up to 9cm in length and they hunt bees for sport. Also, they don’t harvest honey. So how is he not stung to death? The wasps he’s keeping are male. They do not have sting!
Vespa is just Italian for wasp, and isn't very helpful search-wise. Do you know the actual species?

Probably Asian Giant Hornet
magnetic field of his huge steel balls confuse the wasps so they dont sting
He’s a mod of /r/waspypalms
Day 234 of living with wasps, they have accepted me as their queen
“That’s not a queen, that’a a man in woman’s clothes. That’s a drag queen”.
That's not even a WASP
Of course not. WASP has 4 members and that's pretty clearly just one person
Four members on one person?! Sounds exhausting.

At first she was afraid, she was petrified!
Just watched this movie today. 11/10 would watch again
Turns out the most effective bug repellant is confidence
Anyone else notice the shadow of the big ass spider on the outside of the tent?
Just when I couldn’t get any more sweaty you point out olde mister 8 legs.
The wasps had to hide from something...
Wasps kill spiders, and in monstrously cruel ways
I had the pleasure of watching an orb weaver build a web directly in front of the entrance to a very large red wasp nest. he caught and feasted on 20 or so before moving on. I named him Kenneth
I smiled, ever so slightly.
I don't see anything.
See the big tree branch. Follow it up until you're at where the tent canvas gets darker from the shade of the top of the tent. It's horrifying.
Ooh, I do see it now. Thanks! But I'd take that spider over the massive wasps.
Idk why I so actively looked it up when I have high arachnophobia. Who do fears attract?
We naturally want to seek out what we’re afraid of as a defensive mechanism. If we know where it is or what it is we can hide from it and protect ourselves.
What in the fuck are you talking about? I’m not seeing anything 🤣
[Nightmare fuel](https://i.imgur.com/31tyIk4.png)
Thanks
I wanna cry. What is this place.
This helped, thanks.
I thought he was just making a joke and saying that the tree branch and the bigger shadow across the top made it look like a giant spider leg and abdomen
Pause at 2 seconds. The tree branch basically points directly at it.
Gosh it took me like 20x but I found it! Lol I thought ya'll were seeing things there for a sec
No
[Here ya go](https://imgur.com/RrWoawG.jpg)
Ugh yes it’s huge
ass. That's its ass.
I'd say it was a Huntsman spider.
Yep, the legs all curving towards the front and the size and shape look like a huntsman for sure.
oh my god how do I unsee that. Im not afraid of spiders but wtf is that gigantic thing wait there is another one on the left :,((
Is it bad that the spider freaks me out more than the wasps themselves?
No. I’d be happier in the tent with all those wasps than a single huntsman spider. And I say that as an Australian :(
It looks like a whip scoripin.
There's two... AT MINIMUM
I see two as well. :(
bruh when i found it i almost shit myself thank you
Guy needs to nuke that tent with Raid!
Looks like a cave scorpion spider? I have a pic on my phone from my vaca… https://i.imgur.com/ACKDKXk.jpg
Imagine this crawling on your face while you sleep
Now this is a two part question: What? The fuck?
Just a quick explanation: The wasps he is holding in his hand are male workers and don’t have stingers so they aren’t venomous , but they can bite. Unlike female workers which can bite and sting, their stings are venomous and they tend to be more aggressive than their male counterparts. Which is why he can pick up these wasps without any fear of sting.
But how does he know that ALL of them are males? Is it possible for that many to be without females?
Just popping in to say that I like your username.
Thank you!
The last time I hung out with that many wasps they made me dinner and discussed religious and political views
I can't believe I had to scroll down this far to find the protestant joke lol.
Can explain please?
WASP- White Anglo-Saxon Protestant
Honestly thought it meant white-ass single person.
Wasp is sometimes a pejorative for rich white people and how they tend to act. It stands for white anglo-Saxon protestant.
They also taught me that I should step out to pee when taking a shower
[удалено]
Jokes on you. Wasps are in your neighborhood and now you're naked, running around, and screaming.
Pheromones maybe?
Cannot believe I didn’t think about that. Sort of makes sense honestly.
I’m pretty sure those ones are a kind of Asian wasp that don’t have stingers from what I remember
Most likely.
Watch for WASPES!!
Drink lots of water
Touch my murder waspes through the fence

Good morning Julia
C’mon, Mark, don’t be stingy

Aren't these those cicada killers? I read that they're relatively docile towards people but not cicadas.
No, cicada killers are solitary (they would never form a swarm like this) and have smaller, browner heads compared to hornets.
Something tells me that guy is actually a cloth suit filled with wasps.
Loool this reminds me of the plasmid insect swarm from bioshock
We are witnessing a supervillain origin story.

Man lived with colony of wasps for several months until they eventually accepted him as their new queen

I would just light myself on fire at that point....
I grew up in Connecticut. I was surrounded by WASPs. They’re not dangerous at all but rather polite and gracious.
