	Asian Giant Hornet or Vespa Mandarinia
		The thorax and propodeum (the segment which forms the posterior part of the thorax) of the Asian giant hornet has a distinctive golden tint and a large scutellum (a shield-like scale on the thorax) that has a deeply-impressed medial line; the postscutellum (the plate behind the scutellum) bulges and overhangs the propodeum.
		The hornet's forelegs are orange with dark brown tarsi (the distal - furthest down - part of the leg); the midlegs and hindlegs are dark brown.
		If a person is stung by the giant hornet and does not receive prompt medical treatment, he or she may die from a reaction to the venom.

	Hornet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hornets are the largest eusocial wasps, reaching up to 45 millimetres (1.8 inches) in length.
		The true hornets make up the genus Vespa, and are distinguished from other vespines by the width of the vertex (part of the head behind the eyes), which is proportionally larger in Vespa; and by the anteriorly rounded gasters (the section of the abdomen behind the wasp waist).
		The name "hornet" is used for this and related species primarily because of their habit of making aerial nests (similar to the true hornets) rather than subterranean nests.

	Asian giant hornet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia, known colloquially as the Yak Killer hornet), the world's largest wasp, is a native of temperate and tropical Eastern Asia.
		The hornets often attack honey bee hives with the goal of obtaining the honey bee larvae.
		Although a handful of Asian giant hornets can easily defeat the defenses of honey bees, whose correspondingly small sting cannot inflict much damage against such a large predator as the giant hornet, the Japanese honey bee (Apis cerana japonica) has evolved a method of defending against the much larger predator.

	Vespa mandarinia Smith, 1852
		With approximately 500 honeybees surrounding the hornet in a tight ball, the temperature within the cluster rises to 47º C (117º F), which is above the upper lethal limit range of 44-46 degrees for the hornet.
		This temperature is too high for the hornet, which quickly expires, but does not harm the honeybees.This temperature does not aversely affect the honeybees because their upper lethal limit is slightly higher, 48-50 degrees.
		Yellow Hornets (Vespa simillima Smith, 1868) are common in Asian Russia and adjacent territories and Japan.

		This species is also known as the Asian Forest Scorpion in some areas and for this reason it is often confused with the true Asian Forest Scorpion (Heterometrus longimanus).
		When the Asian scorpion is in its attack posture, it tends to curl its tail over in a way that is similar to the walking stance, and the pincers are kept almost directly in front of the body as a protection mechanism.
		Though Heterometrus spinifer is known professionally as the Malaysian Forest Scorpion or the Giant Blue Scorpion in some areas it is also referred to as the Asian Scorpion, Asian Forest Scorpion, or the Malaysian Giant Scorpion.

	Hornet at Animal Gifts Galore
		The true hornets make up the genus Vespa, and are distinguished from other vespids by the width of the vertex (part of the head behind the eyes), which is proportionally larger in Vespa; and by the anteriorly rounded gasters (the section of the abdomen behind the wasp waist).
		Hornets are often (although wrongly) thought to be very aggressive and dangerous, and are much feared by some people.
		While impressive due to their size, European hornets are in fact much less aggressive than some of their smaller relatives (notably the yellowjackets Vespula germanica and Vespula vulgaris), and their sting isn't more dangerous.

		What's more unusual about the Dodge Hornet concept isn't necessarily the fact that parent DaimlerChrysler may team with fellow German auto giant Volkswagen on the car's development, but that the production version, tentatively due in model-year 2009, is expected to be assembled in Mexico — hardly Detroit or Stuttgart's backyard.
		The Dodge Hornet concept, which will be unveiled in Switzerland on February 28, is said to provide an accurate glimpse of the new VW-based Dodge small car.
		The neo-Bronco and a companion five-door hatchback are to be aimed, like the Dodge Hornet, at Gen-Y buyers who have been drawn to the Scion xA and xB and are expected to be the primary audience for such recent and upcoming entries as the Honda Fit, the Nissan Versa and the Toyota Yaris.

		There is a japanese hornet that is quite large and voracious, and they make their meals out of bee hives.
		But, whats even more awesome, is that the honey bees have devised a little combat plan of their own…they huddle together in a ball, often around the invading hornet and ’shiver’, which increases the temp in the hive and kills the hornet.

		According to author Frank Chin, "Asian-American art and culture has lost an inspiration to writers and actors and art may have lost the only Asian with guts enough to put his talent where his vision is. He was an Asian American who could rough and tumble instead of crawl and bat their eyes.
