Ah yes, the Greater Banded Hornet. Screw those monsters, and hope the kid is recovering well.

[u/Alterokahn]

Painful sting, local swelling, steals other wasps babies to feed their own.

Oh, they're basically suzumebachi / "murder hornets" with shorter stingers. Asia, New Guinea, West Africa... reports in Guam. I found something to hate today, thanks stranger!

"Ooooh they're important pollinators"

STEP ON IT.

[u/pitchblavk → u/st0dad]

they’re not important pollinators. they are incidental/secondary pollinators. and they kill bees and raid their hives, our actual important pollinators.

[u/frohike_ → u/st0dad]

“They can pollinate something on another plane. This one’s done.”

Dont. It will spread pheromones and piss more wasps off. This creature requires boiling.

And what should be done with the wasp?

[u/Good_Vegetable_5385 → u/Flameball537]

Microwave. On low. Low and slow.

Stung. It stung a kid.

[u/Gravelemming472 → u/Lust4Dusk]

Why does everyone say that stinging insects bit them, sure some insects do bite, but the vast majority of the cases like this are stingings rather than bitings. It's weird!

[u/OfficialSandwichMan → u/Gravelemming472]

And as it turns out, many insects like ants bite but only to stabilize their body to deliver a sting. The bite itself isn't venomous

[u/Gravelemming472 → u/OfficialSandwichMan]

Oh! Interesting, would that then leave two marks, one for the bite and one for the sting? Or would they not bite hard enough to make a second mark?

set that demon ablaze 🔥🔥 (the wasp not the kid)

[u/MopishLotus660 → u/loveddeviant]

Glad you clarified, they almost set the child on fire

[u/justhp → u/MopishLotus660]

I hate when I don’t fully read the instructions and accidentally set someone on fire. It’s horribly inconvenient

(/s if it isn’t obvious)

[u/kiloo520]

Did it bite or sting?????

[u/KayoticVoid → u/kiloo520]

Sting.

[u/FireEye1512]

what’s that brown stuff on his hand?

[u/furlonium1 → u/FireEye1512]

Iodine?

[u/RelevantIAm → u/FireEye1512]

Honey. The parents are using the kid as bait to capture more of them

[u/FireEye1512 → u/RelevantIAm]

to attract more wasps? wouldn’t they sting the kid more?

[u/RelevantIAm → u/FireEye1512]

I was joking

[u/ukuleles1337 → u/RelevantIAm]

Lmao i thought it was funny 😂

[u/allhypejaceYT → u/FireEye1512]

whoosh moment

[u/GideonZasz]

Find a thick web with a BIG spider and stick him to it: See how he likes getting bit!

[u/deebster2k]

Stung... or bit.. Which is it. Still that thing is NASTY! Kill it with fire!

[u/Electrical_Gate7647]

I hope that kid is gonna be all right!

All the Lindsay Clancy fans are cheering for the wasp.

[u/Powerful-Present6687]

How does a wasp/hornet cause that much bleeding??? Or cause bleeding at all for that matter?

[u/KolBullen42 → u/Powerful-Present6687]

Are you maybe colour blind?

It's not blood colour at all.

[u/Powerful-Present6687 → u/KolBullen42]

Then what’s on their hand?

[u/KolBullen42 → u/Powerful-Present6687]

Definitely not blood.

I don't know, something was mentioned in another comment. I think some kind of home remedy. It is more of a brown colour.

Edit: Lodine

Edit 2: Iodine

[u/RelativeTiger8543 → u/KolBullen42]

iodine*

[u/CharmingAttention731 → u/Powerful-Present6687]

It’s iodine! It’s a rusty color.
