Murder Hornets are on there way to Arkansas

This picture shows how big hornets are in different place.

Searcy, AR (LP) — There are many different types of insects like hornets, bees, and wasps. People don’t like insects because they don’t want to get stung and I actually agree. The reason why I don’t like insects is because when i get stung it hurts like really bad wear ever you get stung.  What I hate about hornets is the way they move that really fast toward you like they want to sting you like really bad.  What I don’t like at night when i’m trying to sit outside and enjoy the air is when the mosquitoes come out and that’s the part I don’t like and some people like to enjoy the night air peacefully without getting stung. Honestly I think hornets are cool and sometimes very a minoring when I’m outside just thinking in space about what’s going to happen. 

Most live in tropical Asia, but the insects are also found in Europe, Africa, and North America, where the European hornet was introduced by humans. These social insects construct hives by chewing wood into a papery construction pulp. They mature from egg to adult inside the community hive. Wasps, like bees and hornets, are equipped with a stinger for self defense. A wasp’s stinger contains venom, a poisonous substance that’s transmitted to humans during a sting. However, even without a lodged stinger, wasp venom can cause significant pain and irritation. Hornets are predators that serve a special function in controlling other populations of insects. Without hornets, insects like spiders, caterpillars, flies, crane flies,and beetles would breed out of control and become a greater nuisance. On the off chance they do manage to spread, the post adds, these insects aren’t any more deadly than many of our American wasps and hornets, and the death rate in their native range equals that of deaths by dogs in the U.S. Stings can hurt really bad. Hornets have stingers used to kill prey and defend nests. Hornet stings are more painful to humans than typical wasp stings because hornet venom contains a larger amount of 5% of acetylcholine. The major difference between wasp and hornets is size and color. Wasps left are about one-third inch to one inch long. Hornets right are larger.

Wasp have black and yellow rings, while hornets have black and white rings. At up to 2 inches long, the “murder hornet” is the world’s largest hornet. It is about a half-inch larger than the “cicada killer” wasp common in Texas.  Mr. Clennon says, “Yes, and some can kill you if you are allergic.  Hornets nest below ground. Hornets are natural pest controllers. If anything can sting you and kill you, they have the same amount of deadliness. They don’t intend to, but they can hurt you if they sting you. There are large populations of many types of insects and they vary from species to species. Same as 6.”  Hornets are deadlier than any other insects in the world and also when hornets sting you it can kill you if you don’t get the stinger out of your body before it gets affected and then you will have to go to the hospital to have the people up there to get it out of your body before you get killed.

This is the native wasp.

In conclusion, the hornets are deadlier than the wasps, bees, and crane flies. I hope that you like my article about insects and to everyone reading this i hope you all have a great day. Be safe Searcy High School.
