Washington State Department of Agriculture has videos to show what these Asian (Murder) Hornets are capable of. This dangerous insect was said to have arrived in the U.S. from Japan via cargo on a ship. They have been spotted in Washington State and in Canada. Both nests have been recently eradicated in hopes that they have not spread elsewhere. If you do spot any of these deadly creatures in Washington State or elsewhere, please visit the WSDA website and fill out their report form asap.

Here's a Facebook Video demonstrating how quickly Murder Hornets can eradicate a full honey bee nest in a short amount of time. Take note of the differences in their sizes. This was recorded in Japan.
