| Luckily I've only seen the worker bees in the classroom. Also, thank god the Queen ones are rarely randomly flying around. But if I saw one in my classroom, I'd probably join my students in screaming like a little girl and start crying like one too. |

| I wonder if the bug zapping tennis racquets are effective against these enemies of Marxist-Leninist Socialism with Chinese characteristics. |

| I had one of these flying around inside the window in my classroom last year....looked pretty messed up and dying though - literally on par with those ones in the photos size-wise. Showed my students and everyone crowded around taking pics with their iphones. If only I'd known at the time they have the tendency to spray flesh-melting poison into your eyes which are loaded with pheromones which will attract every other hornet in the nest to come and basically sting you until you're dead class would have been cancelled on the spot and I would have been screaming like a school girl and pushing the little darlings out of the way, George Costanza style to flee the classroom first. Truly terrifying things. |

I saw a dead one of these on the street once.
I was glad it was dead. |

I hope so.
We need a new plague. Or in this case, hornet siege. |

No, not in Indiana, China. Indiana sighting was the ghost of Trayvon Martin, or any black youth with a hoodie, for that matter.  |

Good lord 
You make it sound like you were faced with a xenomorph from the Aliens series. |
