Here is a video of an apparent Asian giant hornet (aka murder hornet) going head-to-head with a praying mantis. The praying mantis absolutely destroys the murder hornet…stripping the hornet of its deadly nickname and reducing him to just a headless hornet.
The years-old video has resurfaced online on the heels of the alarming news that deadly “murder hornets” have arrived in the U.S. and were first spotted in Washington state this past fall.
These giant Asian hornets are a threat to the bee population, as they tear up entire colonies by decapitating them and feeding the bodies to their young.
They also have no problem taking down a mouse…as seen here.
